what is the word for when a civilization goes from being nomadic to agricultural?

At the individual level it's called, "getting married". Victims of marriage stop bar hopping (nomadic) in favor of boring nights at home turning into a mental vegetable (agricultural). Marriage is a form of slow death practiced by all civilizations.
 
It would be called "settling" or "urbanization" but the last only in the case of major sites (towns).
This happens when Hunter/Gatherers settle down and start to work the soil. This can also be called an agricultural society.
