What is an Unincorporated Community?
Imagine a town that doesn't have its own mayor or town council. That's a bit like an unincorporated community! People living in Franklin get their services, like roads and police, from Monroe County. This is different from a city, which has its own local government to manage things.
Where is Franklin Located?
