Etymology

The word 'suburbs' originated in the 14th century from the Latin word 'suburbium', which means 'outskirts of a city'. Suburbs have evolved over time from being areas where the wealthy lived to becoming more diverse residential communities. The concept of suburbs became popular during the industrial revolution when people started moving away from city centers for a better quality of life.
