Why did early VA developed cities along the fall line?
The fall line is the point in a river where you first encounter rocks that stop movement of a ship. Since you cannot come up the river any further, you get off the ship, travel upstream on foot, and take a smaller boat up the river. What a great place to build a town! People coming and going, needing to store goods, sell goods, buy goods. Open an inn so they have a place to eat, drink and sleep. Great place to open a repair shop for ships, or a shop to build smaller boats. That was the origin of Richmond VA.
