The first people to settle did so because they developed methods of farming. Before that people would hunt and gather. After they decided or found out how to farm they could then settle somewhere as opposed to keep moving to find food. Mesopotamia just happens to be one of the first places that where they discovered this.

∙ 12y agoI am not quite sure about this answer but the world's first civilization was developed in Mesopotamia because they needed a surplus of food, division of labor, and built cities.

I hope that answers that!!! :D
