What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a group of homes and businesses that are not part of an official city or town. They don't have their own mayor or city council. Instead, the services like roads, police, and fire departments are usually provided by the larger county government. Appleton is one example of such a community in Maryland.
