Answer: Seattle

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1851, settlers from Illinois established the first non-Native American settlement in the Seattle area. They would later relocate the settlement to build a harbor in Puget Sound. By 1853 the new settlement was built, and although initially named for the nearby Duwamish community, it was later renamed to acknowledge the head of the local tribes, Seattle for the hospitality they had shown to the settlers.
