Which town in Greece did Athena give an Olive tree to?
She gave the, at the time unnamed, town of Athens the olive branch. Her and Poseidon were having a bit of bet on which person could give a better gift. Athena gave the town the olive branch, which could be used for medicine, food, and crafting. Poseidon however struck the ground with his trident and gave the town a well. However, the water was salty and unfit for drinking. The people preferred Athena's gift and so they named their town Athens in honor of Athena.

What does the olive branch stand for on the United states seal?
Peace. It is/was standard vernacular to say, "I extend an olive branch", or something similar, when trying to quell hostile spirits between two (or more) nations or people. The most ancient reference seems to be in the Bible when the dove Noah has sent out after the rain had stopped returned with an olive branch in its mouth. Gen. 8:11 - The dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth. Some, however, give the Greeks credit for this tradition. Athena is said to have offered the olive tree to Zeus for the city of Athens, but this does not explain why this should be taken for "peace". Given that the Star of David appears above the head of the eagle on the seal the first explanation seems more likely.
