What is Frisco?
Frisco is a small area where people live, but it's not officially a city or a village. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it doesn't have its own mayor or town council. Instead, the larger Franklin County government helps manage things for Frisco.
How Unincorporated Communities Work
Imagine a neighborhood that isn't part of any official city. That's a bit like an unincorporated community.

- County Services: Services like roads, law enforcement, and sometimes even schools are handled by the county government.
- Different from Cities: Cities and towns have their own rules and leaders. Unincorporated communities follow the rules of the county they are in.
