What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a group of homes and businesses that does not have its own local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it is governed directly by the larger county it is part of. This means it doesn't have its own mayor or city council.
Where is Fruitland Located?
Fruitland is found along North Carolina Highway 177. This road helps people travel through the area. If you were starting from a nearby town called Hamlet, Fruitland would be about 3.7 miles (which is about 6 kilometers) to the northeast.
