townsfolk
People around here
Townsfolk are the people who live in a particular town, considered collectively.
The word has an old-fashioned or literary flavor, evoking small communities where residents know one another: The townsfolk gathered in the square for the annual festival.
Townspeople means the same thing with slightly less quaintness.
