Other uses Crossroads disambiguation Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Crossroads village is a term that refers to a settlement, primarily in U.S. Colonial America American history , that was situated where two or more roads would intersect. The term can also apply to any settlement in any part of the world which developed in a similar or parallel manner. The owners of farmland along a frequently traveled trail , path, or road , often paralleling a water route, would plan a village where two or three roads crossed known as a Junction road crossroads . The village that developed at the crossing of the trails or roads was usually named after one of the area s first settlers. A general store , tavern , and a few other buildings would be erected. Near these villages, the social, commercial, educational, and religious aspects of the emerging society originated and were supported. To a large extent, crossroads villages provided identity and vitality to the surrounding countryside and a sense of community in the early years of town settlement . Villages began to appear on the landscape when farmers had produced enough good harvests to erect satisfactory homes, barns, fences, and wanted goods and services beyond their capacity and that of their neighbors to produce.
