People settled in Rotterdam due to its strategic location along the Nieuwe Maas River, which provided access to trade routes and facilitated maritime commerce. The city's deep-water port became one of the largest in the world, attracting merchants and industries. Additionally, Rotterdam's relatively flat landscape and fertile soil supported agriculture and urban development, making it an attractive place for settlement and economic growth. Over time, its diverse economy and cultural opportunities further encouraged population growth and migration.
