Su nombre, es tomado de la antigua alquería más importante del Quartó de Portmany, allá por el siglo XIV.
Con el tiempo se convirtió en una venda con una importante población, hecho que desembocó a fundar la actual parroquia de Sant Josep.

locality / venda [locality, vicinity]


Explanation:
Probably the option of leaving "venda" with a parenthetical equivalent such as "locality" or "vicinity" (neighbourhood, district) could work.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/locality

1.1 An area or neighbourhood.

synonyms
vicinity, surrounding area, area, neighbourhood, district, region, environs, zone, locale, territory...

https://es.oxforddictionaries.com/translate/spanish-english/...

Or simply "locality".

Good luck! :-)

Reference information:
Creo que es un término que viene de "véndes", en catalán.

"La organización territorial de las islas Pitiusas es singular por sus peculiaridades geográficas e históricas. Históricamente, en la isla de Ibiza sólo existía un único núcleo urbano, llamado «la Villa», y el resto era una zona rural dispersa organizada en vendas (en catalán véndes). "

**a vénda (plural véndes) in the Catalan language** — a traditional administrative subdidvision of civil parishes (parròquia, plural parròquies in Catalan) that are subdividing each municipality (municipi) in the group of Pitiusic Islands (Illes Pitiüses), now divided in the insular councils of Ibiza (Eivissa) and Formentera, within the autonomous community (and province) of the Balearic Islands (Illes Balears), in Spain.

I've also seen "township".

some common collective

agree  JohnMcDove: "Township" could be a good answer. :-) (BTW, how is your knee? I hope you are rock 'n' rolling!) / You're welcome. Glad that is going better. I think you should put this (administrative villages) as an answer, as it seems to me the best solution... :-)
