Word origin

The term 'neighborhoods' originated from the Middle English word 'neighbores', which in turn came from the Old English 'neahgebลซr'. The concept of neighborhoods has been a fundamental part of human settlement since ancient times, where people gathered in close proximity for safety, social interaction, and shared resources. Over the centuries, neighborhoods have evolved to encompass not just physical communities but also digital and virtual spaces.
