settlement, locality or populated place is a community in which people live. A settlement can range in size from a small number of dwellings grouped together to the largest of cities with surrounding urbanized areas. Settlements may include hamlets, villages, towns and cities. A settlement may have known historical properties such as the date or era in which it was first settled, or first settled by a particular people.
In the field of geospatial predictive modeling, settlements are "a city, town, village or other agglomeration of buildings where people live and work."[1]
A settlement conventionally includes its constructed facilities such as roads, enclosures, field systems, boundary banks and ditches, ponds, parks and woods, windand water mills, manor houses, moats and churches.[2]
The oldest remains that have been found of constructed dwellings are remains of huts that were made of mud and branches around 17,000 BC at the Ohalo site (now underwater) near the edge of the Sea of Galilee. The Natufians built houses, also in the Levant, around 10,000 BC. Remains of settlements such as villages become much more common after the invention of agriculture.

In early days, human settlements had grown over plains and coastal areas just because of the agricultural benefited and trade benefits.
In modern days, human settlements are found to be well grown in cities and town just because of wide range of opportunities.
Whenever we turn the pages of history, we can witness many great migrations and settlements were started in the name of search for some opportunities and land forms in a greater extend. Humans were meant to find opportunities and use them in an appropriate manner. So they migrated and settled over certain places where they got all the opportunities. This might be the reason behind your question why human grow only in specific locations?
