Gravesboro is a small, quiet place located in Fresno County, California. It is known as an "unincorporated community," which means it doesn't have its own city government. Instead, the county helps manage things there. Gravesboro is situated near the Kings River and a historic railroad line.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An "unincorporated community" is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, the county government, in this case, Fresno County, takes care of services like roads and public safety. It's like a neighborhood that's part of a bigger county area.
