Preferred term

villages  

Definition(s)

  • From the time that farming became a way of life for most of humankind, beginning about 11,000 years ago, the majority of our predecessors lived in settled villages and continued to do so until about 1950. Of course, actual villages differed greatly across geographic space and within historical time. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community: From the Village to the Virtual World; Villages]
