First Settlers: Category and Sticker

+5 votes
85 views

I have run across two (US) profiles that have sources confirming they were the first settlers of an area or created a town.

I see we have the Category for US Pioneers and settlers. Is this an appropriate category for the situation I am describing?

I was searching for a sticker that is related to that same situation (the person is the first settler of any area or the one to create a town), but I have not found one. Does anyone know if that already exists?

The US Pioneers and settlers category is a project category for the Westward Ho project and created for that use. Which place are you considering? I don't think a category is needed for "first settlers" as that would not group many people (the purpose of a category is to group profiles). Also, some sort of definition of who is "first" would have to be determined (would it be the first family settling or the first 10 famillies? Who would keep track of this?)

To me, it's best to use a state category like https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Kentucky_Pioneers_and_Settlers.
