After that time due to natural disasters like drought less people settled here and the area remained very less populated. Then after the discovery of America by the Europeans this area was still less popular and very less people came here to explore it. When the great civil war ended in 1848 most the control of Seattle was transferred to United States. As the city developed and more and more people came to live in the city from different Places of the world.
