  Can't tell if this is a weak troll, or you literally have a very tenuous grip on reality. The land was not covered with pharmacies and people migrating to find new pharmacies. Let me explain how the current residents ended up here: - Indian tribes used this land as hunting grounds. - English surveyors came and mapped out the area. - The land was granted to a wealthy business owner by the King of England. - A few wealthy families buy more land, form homesteads, moving away from NYC after the Revolutionary War. - Over time those families develop more of the land and invest in property and business, and more families move in over time as the town grows. - Factories and farms nearby provide a steady source of income and the town flourishes. The outer village is connected to the town after the county is officially formed. - Eventually due to economic pressure from overseas, the factories and farms dwindle. Those who have enough money move away to find work; those who have lots of money, or none at all, stay. - Most of the small businesses disappear as franchises move in. The small yet sizeable population is enough to keep a few big-name, low-cost stores in profit. The story of America is rich people taking advantage of cheap land, and poor people struggling to survive.
