Amish settlement
Buggy-using village
An Amish settlement is a geographic area where Amish families have established homes and community life, typically in rural regions.
Unlike a single congregation, a settlement may contain multiple church districts and can range from a few families to thousands of households spread across a county or region.
The oldest and largest is in Holmes County, Ohio.
Settlements maintain varying degrees of separation from modern society: The Amish settlement in Lancaster County draws tourists year-round.
