Gluck is a small place in Texas, a large state in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and possibly some businesses that are part of a larger area, like a county. It does not have its own separate city government.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own official local government. Unlike a city or town, it doesn't have a mayor or a city council. Instead, the services for the community, like roads and police, are usually managed by the larger county government.

This type of community often grows around a specific area, like a crossroads or a small gathering of farms. They might have a name, like Gluck, but they are not legally separate from the county they are in.

Where is Gluck Located?

Gluck is found in Potter County, which is in the northern part of Texas. This area is often called the Texas Panhandle because it looks like the handle of a pan on a map.

The elevation of Gluck is about 3,314 feet (1,010 meters) above sea level. This means it's located on higher ground compared to many other parts of Texas. The time zone for Gluck is Central Time.
