<p>A <b>linear settlement</b> is a (normally small to medium-sized) <a href="Human_settlement" title="Human settlement">settlement</a> or group of buildings that is formed in a long line.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many of these settlements are formed along a transport route, such as a road, river, or canal. Others form due to physical restrictions, such as coastlines, mountains, hills or valleys. Linear settlements may have no obvious centre.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In the case of settlements built along a route, the route predated the settlement, and then the settlement grew along the transport route. Often, it is only a single street with houses on either side of the road. <a href="Mileham" title="Mileham">Mileham</a>, Norfolk, England is an example of this pattern. Later development may add side turnings and districts away from the original main street. Places such as <a href="Southport" title="Southport">Southport</a>, England developed in this way.

</p><p>A linear settlement is in contrast with <a href="Ribbon_development" title="Ribbon development">ribbon development</a>, which is the outward spread of an existing <a href="Town" title="Town">town</a> along a <a href="Main_street" class="mw-redirect" title="Main street">main street</a>, and with a <a href="Nucleated_settlement" class="mw-redirect" title="Nucleated settlement">nucleated settlement</a>, which is a group of buildings clustered around a central point.

</p>

<p>Particular types of linear settlements are <b>linear village</b>, <b>chain village</b>, <b>street village</b> (<a href="Polish_language" title="Polish language">Polish</a>: <i lang="pl">ulicówka</i>;<sup id="cite_ref-acl_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-acl-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="German_language" title="German language">German</a>: <i lang="de">Straßendorf</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-acl_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-acl-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Lithuanian_language" title="Lithuanian language">Lithuanian</a>: <i lang="lt">gatvinis kaimas</i>, <a href="French_language" title="French language">French</a>: <i lang="fr">village-rue</i>), and some others. Different countries have varying classifications of linear settlements.

</p><p><a href="Su%C5%82oszowa" title="Sułoszowa">Sułoszowa</a>, Poland, is notable for its 9 km long, single main street and its thin strips of farmland, inhabited by 3500 people.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
