In earlier times, rivers were the main highways. Large quantities of agricultural and industrial products could be moved relatively easily and cheaply on navigable rivers, like the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence. In addition, trading centres sprang up along these routes. As commerce grew, so did the population of local residents. Thus towns and cities developed along these major routes, in North America, just as they had done in Europe, Asia and Africa.
