What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community, like Doughboy, is a group of homes or buildings that are not part of an official city or town. This means they don't have their own mayor or city council. Instead, the county government handles things like roads, police, and other services for these areas. Many small communities, especially in rural areas, are unincorporated.
A Look Back: Doughboy's History
Doughboy had a post office that opened in 1919. A post office is a place where people can send and receive mail. Having a post office often meant a community was active and growing. However, the post office in Doughboy closed its doors in 1934. When a post office closes, it often means that fewer people live in the area, or that mail services are now handled by a nearby larger town.
