The first American urban center emerged in the early 17th century with the establishment of Jamestown in 1607, which served as a foothold for English colonization. As settlers established agricultural economies and trade routes, populations grew, leading to the development of towns. By the late 18th century, cities like Philadelphia and New York flourished due to their strategic locations for trade, access to ports, and cultural exchanges, facilitating urban growth and laying the foundation for future American cities.
