In some cases, "populated in" could be grammatically correct and commonly used in written English. For example: - "The city was populated in the 1800s by European settlers." - "The data was populated in the database using an automated script." - "The idea was gradually populated in people's minds through social media campaigns." In each of these examples, the phrase "populated in" is used to describe the action of filling or occupying a space or concept. It is typically used when discussing the process or act of populating, rather than simply stating that something has been populated.
