Farming provided a stable and reliable food source, which allowed communities to settle in one place rather than relying on a nomadic lifestyle. This agricultural surplus supported larger populations, as it could sustain more people than hunting and gathering. Additionally, the establishment of farming led to the development of specialized roles within communities, fostering trade and social organization, further contributing to population growth in settlements and villages.
The earliest Neolithic settlements are often referred to as villages or farming communities. These settlements were characterized by the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities.
Some of the earliest farming villages include Jericho in the West Bank, Çatalhöyük in Turkey, and Tell Brak in Syria. These settlements emerged around 10,000 years ago and represent some of the earliest examples of agricultural societies.

The surplus of food produced by agriculture allowed farming villages to support larger populations, leading to the growth of villages into cities. These cities often became centers of trade, population, and political power due to their capacity to sustain and attract diverse populations.
Early farming villages became cities due to factors such as population growth, increased agricultural productivity, specialization of labor, trade and commerce, and centralized political power. As these villages grew in size and complexity, they developed into cities to better manage resources, provide more efficient governance, and facilitate economic activities.
