Colonial America formed clustered settlements. In New England colonies settlements were centered around an open area called a common. Homes and public buildings were grouped around this common. In addition to their houses settlers were also given a small plot of land(1-5 acres) for a barn, garden, and enclosures for livestock. Southeastern colonies were first settled in the 1600's with small, dispersed farms. These farms were called plantations, large farms which used many workers to produce cash crops such as tobacco and cotton. Both settlements were founded near a waterway to provide transportation as well as acess to water.
