Settlements at main river delta
As the initial settlers explored the mostly uncharted region, they realized that their river delta was quite small, and it quickly progressed into very steep mountains. 
To the north, they found a much larger river delta, essentially uncharted, and began to settle at its mouth in order to explore further upstream. They knew that to control the region, they needed to control access to its drainage basin, given the dependency of their transit methods on waterways.
A new walled settlement began to be constructed, at the south most part of the larger delta
It was initially rather chaotic, with no formal government to speak of, people built small farms and houses very near the first dock that was established. However the settlers were only just beginning to learn of the regions fertility. Large farms for unique crops were quickly established including peaches, grapes, and agave, and individual farmers quickly took over the land just outside the wall that had been cleared for its construction.
It began to get chaotic, and the settlers established a government to end the free for all within the town walls.
They created a town square with town hall and multiple churches.
Large farms for staple crops like wheat were also established, with wind mills to turn it into flour.
The overall town began to look respectable, and with the resources being discovered in the mountains and forests nearby, would serve as a good gateway to the region
