dwelled
Made a home
Dwelled is the past tense of dwell, meaning to live or reside somewhere: They dwelled in a small cottage by the sea.
More often, dwell appears in figurative contexts—to dwell on something is to think about it at length, usually excessively: She dwelled on the mistakes she'd made.
Dwelt is an equally common past tense form.
