What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place where people live that isn't officially a city or town. It doesn't have its own mayor or town council. Instead, the county government handles services like roads, police, and schools for these areas. Many small communities across the United States are unincorporated.

A Look Back in Time

Ednor has a history that goes back over a hundred years. Records show that a school was open in Ednor as early as 1893. This means that children in the area had a place to learn their lessons. Soon after, a post office was established in 1895. This made it easier for people in Ednor to send and receive mail. These early services helped the community grow and connect with the outside world.

The image you see shows the historic Clifton house. This old building was built way back in 1742. It stands as a reminder of the long history of the Ednor area.
