The earliest civilizations developed near rivers because they needed drinking water and irrigation for their crops.
The early civilizations began near a river because they could get water from there. They also found animals their who needed water to.
OR...
they began around water because they could fish there and hunt the animals near there.
1. of the reasons would have been it was a good source of water and possibly food if fish lived in the river.
2. depending on how early the civilizations were, rivers were a good method of transport and meant that boats could travel to other areas and trade.
I agree with the answer above me, except for one important detail that they forgot. The soil near rivers is very fertile, so plants thrive there.
