smaller than a village - larger than a wide spot in the road, a hamlet usually has considerably less than 200 people and is usually tied to agriculture (although many housing subdivisions could loosely be described as hamlets, especially when incorpirated and containing a minimal number of people).
A hamlet can either be dispersed (particularly in the USA), or clustered (see urban).
It is often located at the crossing of two minor thouroughfares (at a crossroads). Most intentional communities, if not a village and and not tied into the fabric of a larger entity, could be described as hamlets.

The documentary film "Rabbit Hash - Center of the Universe" was about an old and remote river hamlet which contains a small art colony on the western end of the Kentucky portion of the Cincinnati Ohio metropolitan area (near another hamlet called Big Bone) that elected a dog for mayor, not once, but twice! The First dog was named Goofy.

Get the HamHead mug.a town of about 55,000 people in New Haven County, Connecticut. It's a place where idiotic high school kids who can't really spell post definitions of their own town on urban dictionary to talk shit about each other, but generally fail miserably.

Get the Hamden mug.Great being with the national champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the shutdown I served them massive amounts of fast food ( as an unfounded billionaire I want to let you know that I paid even though it didn’t cost me shit and I will write it off as a tax write off), over 1000 hamberders etc. within one hour it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters.

Get the Hamberders mug.An uncommon man's name for a unique man. He is often loud in a good way. Passive and care free. He is risky and loves fast cars. His motto is "what's the point in drinking if you aren't gonna get drunk." Hamer is very giving and secretly sensitive.
