Etymology

The term 'ruralists' originated in the late 19th century to describe individuals who lived in or had a strong affinity for rural areas. Over time, it has evolved to encompass both those who prefer rural living and those who advocate for rural communities. The concept of ruralism has roots in the Romantic movement, which idealized rural life and nature. Today, ruralists continue to play a vital role in promoting the well-being and development of rural areas.
