Provide a brief history of the development of cities in the United States. How did cities change over time?
What will be an ideal response?
- Colonial villages (1565-1800): The first cities were created by Europeans who colonized what they called the "New World."
- Westward expansion (1800-1860): People began pushing westward, following new transportation routes. Steady urbanization saw the movement of people from the countryside to cities.
- The industrial metropolis (1860-1950): A mix of factories and surging immigrant population created the industrial metropolis. New train and trolley routes allowed city boundaries to move into the surrounding countryside.
- Postindustrial cities and suburbs (1950-present): Post-World War II baby boom and new interstate highways attracted people to the suburbs.
