The Valencian population traditionally concentrated in localities with fertile cultivation and growing lowlands by the most important rivers (Júcar, or Xúquer in Valencian, Turia, or Túria, Segura and Vinalopó), also in harbour cities important to the agricultural trade. The most important population centers used to be, during the Roman times, (Sagunt) or Dénia; later on in history, (València), (Alacant), Xàtiva, (Oriola), (Elx), Gandia, or Vila-real and, more recently, Alzira and (Castelló de la Plana). The population density which is higher in the central and southern lands and minor in the northern and inner ones, is derived from the traditional distribution of people which originated in the orographic characteristics of the Valencian lands and the possibility to obtain irrigated land agriculture. Demographics were also affected by (being perhaps the exception to the mentioned distribution) the great industrial activity and the commerce of agriculturally derived products during the 20th century of noncoastal cities like (Alcoi), Elda, Ontinyent, Petrer, Villena, and La Vall d'Uixó.
