Early immigrants relied upon word of mouth in choosing a city to live in. They would go to a city where a family member or neighbor said was a good place to live. Immigrants had no cars to travel and public transportation wasn't developed yet. So they stayed where they were. Cities grew larger as more immigrants arrived. Everything needed was within walking distance.
