townspeople
Citizens of village
Townspeople are the residents of a town, considered collectively.
The word emphasizes ordinary inhabitants rather than officials or outsiders: The townspeople gathered in the square.
It often appears in contexts where a community responds to events or shares a common concern: The townspeople were divided over the new development.
