Answer 1

No, how it was created...

Edit:

When a city is founded, you might think of it as being created, but it isn't necessarily so. the way I understand founding is that there might be a settlement first until the village or town is incorporated into a formal city announcing legally its form of government.

Also, in this case it is talking about its people and not the town itself.

Am I wrong?

Or founded? - annierats, May 23, 2014

Crear in this case is better than founded. At least to me. :) Read my edit. - chileno, May 23, 2014

Answer 2

Creer and crear are 2 different things, they share several conjugated froms, but creó is not one of them.

Yes, methinks 3rd person sing, preterito? - annierats, May 23, 2014

Crear , that is. - annierats, May 23, 2014

Answer 3

How was the town of garifuna founded/created.

The word "pueblo" can mean town or people. But since it doesn't make much sense to ask how the garifuna people were created I assume "pueblo" is being used to indicate town or village.

Well you might ask, if they are of different population, in a distant land, such as the aborigines, how did they coe about, how werethey created. Yes, I know, in the normal way, but you might ask, depending on context. - annierats, May 23, 2014

It is asking where do the garifunas came into being. - chileno, May 23, 2014
