Cedar Point is a small, quiet place located in the state of Indiana, in the United States. It's what we call an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and buildings that don't have their own local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it's looked after by the larger area around it, which is Union Township in White County.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live that isn't officially a city or a town. It doesn't have its own mayor or city council. Instead, it's governed by the county or township it's part of.
This often means that services like police, fire, and roads are managed by the county government. These communities are usually smaller and can feel more rural than big cities.
