sawmill town
Timber processing village
A sawmill town is a small community whose economy centers on a lumber mill.
These towns typically developed near forests, with most residents employed directly or indirectly by the mill.
The term often carries nostalgic or declining connotations—many sawmill towns shrank or disappeared as timber resources depleted or the industry mechanized: The old sawmill town had become a ghost of itself.
