What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place that doesn't have its own local government. This means it's not officially a city or town. Instead, it's usually governed by the county it's in. For example, Belt Junction was managed by Tarrant County before it became part of Fort Worth.
These communities often grow around a specific point, like a crossroads or a railway junction. They might have a few homes or businesses. But they don't have a mayor or city council like a regular city.
