If by "suburb" is meant an urban 【S1】______ that grows more rapidly than its already developed interior, the process of suburbanization began during the 【S2】______ of the industrial city in the second quarter of the 19th century. Before that period the city was a small highly 【S3】______ cluster in which people move about on foot and goods were 【S4】______ by horse and cart. But the early factories built in the 1830s and 1840s were 【S5】______ along waterways and near railheads at the edges of cities, and housing was needed for the thousands of people drawn by the prospect of employment.
    In time, the factories were 【S6】______ by proliferating mill towns of apartments and row houses that abutted the older, main cities.

Indeed, most great cities of the United States 【S10】______ such status only by annexing the communities along their borders.
