Where settlers put down roots was in or near:
- rich soil in farmlands
- Native American hunting trails leading to rivers
- abundant connecting rivers
- an abundant coal supply, both anthracite and bituminous
- 1880s discovery of oil
People mined coal and created businesses near waterways, making easy transport to markets. The railroads also intersected with rivers. From these two forms of transportation, mills and factories prospered. Recruiting workers from overseas countries gave an ample workforce. More immigrants came, expanding the need for jobs, businesses to fill those needs, which again expanded the need for workers.
