river societies

i'm sure theres a more accurate term for them.

but i'm looking for information on older societies/villages built either half way on water or all the way on water(or equivalent)

if anyone knows what i'm talking about, if it exists, or if i'm just crazy please let me know.

main thing i need to know, is architecture and boats, but all information is good none the less

and just f.y.i. google only returned Resort results for me.

Lake Town in "The Hobbit" would be a fantasy equivalent to what you were talking about.
