village

Traditional village

          Although many patterns of village life have existed, the typical village was small, consisting of perhaps 5 to 30 families. Homes were situated together for sociability and defence, and land  surrounding the living quarters was farmed. Traditional fishing villages were based on artisan fishing and located adjacent to fishing grounds.

Historically

       village were the usual form of community for societies that practise subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In many cultures, towns and cities were few, with only a small proportion of the population living in them. Villages have been eclipsed in importance as units of human society and settlement.
         The Industrial Revolution attracted people in larger numbers to work in mills and factories; the concentration of people caused many villages to grow into towns and cities. This also enabled specialization of labor and crafts, and development of many trades.

Evolution

         In ancient times the village was largely self-sufficient, but with the development of the town and city the village became more integrated economically and politically with the larger society.

Today it is generally agreed that there may have been separate and different origins of the village, each area developing independently according to its specific h.istory.
