In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practicesubsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church.[1]In many cultures, towns and cities were few, with only a small proportion of the population living in them. TheIndustrial Revolutionattracted 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. The trend ofurbanizationcontinues, though not always in connection with industrialization.Although many patterns of village life have existed, the typical village is often small, consisting of perhaps 5 to 30 families. Historically homes were situated together for sociability and defence, and land surrounding the living quarters was farmed.Traditional fishing villageswere based onartisan fishingand located adjacent to fishing grounds.
