BronxWench Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I’d say it’s more of a hamlet… http://languagelearningbase.com/87791/metropolis-city-town-village-hamlet-whats-the-difference JayDee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvidiaRed Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Homestead could work. But that's more wild west setting. Alas, poor Yorick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inshadowsidream Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_farming I googled it. This was all it had to say about it. InvidiaRed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloverReef Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 We use homestead still up here, but generally for a single family’s place. I’d go with hamlet. I think we have another word for it but I forget! InvidiaRed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirGeneralSir Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 my thought was something like a …... not a town, there is maybe 5-6 farms, 1-2 shops but nothing too major, if you didnt know it was there you would walk right past it kind of place.

BronxWench Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 It’s entirely possible you’re overthinking this. Go with hamlet and move on, that’s my advice. InvidiaRed and JayDee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
