one-street town ?

I'm wondering what "one-street town" refer to?

Imagine you have a highway, and it starts as a gas station. Then it expands into a little general store and maybe a restaurant. Then a few more houses come along to tend to these services, and then maybe a tiny hotel is added, and then... well, it's still a VERY small town, but the purpose if its existence originally was to take care of the people who were travelling through.
