Despite the privations of 1620, the Puritans founded colonies that thrived and their success depended on fishing, shipbuilding, trade and farming. Unfriendly natives were not the Pilgrims' only problem. December was a bad time to start a settlement, especially when so many of them were too sick to do the hard work which founding the settlement required . The minority who were fit enough erected shelters near the beach at Cape Cod for a start, and then set about reconnoitring the hinterland for sustenance. Had it not been for friendlier native Americans who taught them their skills, the Pilgrims might never have survived. The natives acted as guides through the forests and taught the colonists woodcraft, trapping, hunting, how to make maple sugar, moccasins and birch-bark canoes and how to raise crops of maize and tobacco. They also introduced the colonists to the turkey, which was native to North America.
the northern shores of the Ottawa River, the two cities had a combined 2006 population of over 1,130,000, making it the country's fourth largest metropolitan area.

America, and later the USA. The Spanish had occupied large parts of the west and south-west. The French were present in the northern territories, around the St Lawrence River, and throughout the middle regions (French Louisiana) as far as the Gulf of Mexico. The Dutch were in New York (originally New Amsterdam) and the surrounding area. Large numbers of Germans began to arrive at the end of the seventeenth century, settling mainly in Pennsylvania and its hinterland. In addition, there were increasing numbers of Africans entering the south, as a result of the slave trade, and this dramatically increased in the eighteenth century: a population of little more than 2,500 black slaves in 1700 had become about 100,000 by 1775, far out-numbering the southern whites.

Traffic connections between the town and its surroundings became more complicated. Big part of natural town hinterland was lost and Latvian territory was surrounding Valga from three sides creating problems with people daily lives and transportation connections. However, both countries made efforts to simplify the border crossing to ease the day to day life for local residents. Also a lot of roads and railways were converted and new one was built. Despite numerous agreements and restructurings, the border line was rather troublesome factor in development of Valga.

Tööjõu rakendamise kohana ja kohaliku majanduselu aktiveerijana on sadamatel ka oluline sotsiaalpolii- tiline tähtsus. Suurte materjalivoogude teenindamise seisukohalt on sadamatel täita ülioluline roll. Sadamatel on oma mõjualad ehk tagamaad (hinterland), mis võivad ulatuda mõnest kilo- meetrist sadade ja tuhandete kilomeetriteni. Mõjuala suurus sõltub ühtaegu nii geograailistest, majandusgeograailistest kui ka poliitilistest teguritest. Mõjuala suurus ja selle mõju sõltuvad paik- konna kliimast, ümbritseva piirkonna elanikkonna suurusest ja paiknemisest, loodusressursside
