Etymology

The word 'suburb' originated in the 14th century from the Latin word 'suburbium', which means 'an area lying near a city'. Suburbs began to develop as cities expanded and populations grew. Initially, suburbs were seen as places of escape from the crowded and polluted city centers. Over time, suburbs have evolved to become vibrant communities with their own amenities and attractions.
