logging town
Lumber industry village
A logging town is a settlement whose economy centers on harvesting timber from surrounding forests.
These communities typically grew up near sawmills or along rivers used to transport logs, often in remote or mountainous regions: The old logging town had seen better days since the mill closed.
Many logging towns boomed and busted with the timber industry.
