Answer to Question 1

Colonias, pueblos, and villas were for settlement by families and other colonists.
Ranchos were a type of land grant for raising animal stock. The Spanish government authorized pueblos and villas. Ranchos and colonias were land grants set up after Mexico became independent.

Answer to Question 2

The student should know that the Theory of First Effective Settlement, postulated by the geographer Wilbur Zelinsky, states that groups who successfully settled a place first had the longest impact. Jamestown and Massachusetts Bay Colony were both settlements created by British companies. Their impacts can be seen in the architecture of the areas, as well as the dominance of the English in the United States. More subtly, the fact that business interests were primary concerns in these early settlements continued as these settlement became centers of industry and trade.
