Likely located there because of an already substantial (comparatively)
population and infrastructure caused by the natural resources exploitation.

Made sense to locate those things there. And, of course, they metastasised.

    1/2 lg Onion; chopped
      2 cl Garlic; chopped
      2 qt Water
      4 ts Chicken bouillon
      1 ts Salt; to taste *

  "Comfort food on a cold winter's night, cabbage simmered in
  chicken broth is also an age-old folk remedy for curing the
  common cold."
  
  In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Stir
  in onion and garlic; cook until onion is transparent, about
  five minutes.
  
  Stir in water, bouillon, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil,
  then stir in cabbage. Simmer until cabbage wilts, about 10
  minutes.
  
  Stir in tomatoes. Return to a boil, then simmer 15 to 30
  minutes, stirring often.
