What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's usually managed by the larger county it's part of. This means there isn't a mayor or a city council just for Aggregates.
How Aggregates is Governed
Because Aggregates is unincorporated, services like roads, police, and fire protection are handled by Randolph County. Residents still pay taxes, but those taxes go to the county government, which then provides services for everyone in the county, including those in unincorporated areas.
Where is Aggregates Located?
Aggregates is nestled in a scenic part of West Virginia. It sits right on the Tygart Valley River, which is a beautiful waterway.
Nearby Rivers and Towns
The community is about two miles upstream from where the Tygart Valley River meets Roaring Creek. It's also located about two miles downstream from the larger city of Elkins. This makes Aggregates a quiet spot, close to nature but still near a bigger town for supplies and services.
