Chatham is a small, quiet place in Florida, United States. It's not a city or town with its own government, but rather an "unincorporated community." This means it's part of a larger county, Monroe County, and doesn't have its own mayor or city council. Chatham is special because it's located right inside the amazing Everglades National Park, a huge area of wetlands and forests. It's about 10 miles (16 kilometers) southeast of a town called Everglades City.
