The settlement in Canada can be divided into two different categories, rural and urban. Rural is outside cities and towns, also rural is characterized by the low population.

The rich agricultural attract people the settlement on farms along the St Lawrence River. For people who live on the river it’s easier to transport items from the farms. The farms are in a narrow pattern that stretch back from the river. The most popular transportation was by boat or in the water, sled over the St. Lawrence River or southern Quebec. The region of southern Quebec is very distinctive appearance. Taxes were based on how much frontage was along the river.

In general people tend to congregate around a source of fresh water because it’s necessary for our survival. People also like to live near one along and that’s how cities are formed. Farmers farm in the rural areas, simply because there’s more room and you can’t farm in the city.

Before the 1800 the settlement the main source of transportation was by the rivers and lakes. As time progressed railroads and roads were built. Then technology advanced you can live anywhere and still get anywhere. They made the concessions straight because it is easy to divide and easy to build roads. They made blocks that were on areas of 94 squared kilometers which is very large. They can have more crops which will provide more food.

As a conclusion, Canada has three settlement patterns for farming. The patterns are irregular and are adapted to their environment. They have the most agriculture, which makes the country one of the strongest world agriculture.
