The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods.
