What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community like Deep Run is a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or a town. It doesn't have its own mayor or town council. Instead, the larger county government takes care of things like roads, police, and other services for everyone living there.
This is different from a city or town, which has its own local government to make rules and provide services just for that area. Unincorporated communities are common in many parts of the United States.
