Hamburg is a small place in Shenandoah County, Virginia, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes or buildings that doesn't have its own local government like a town or city. Instead, it's governed by the larger county it's part of.
Hamburg is located about 4.15 miles (or 6.68 kilometers) southwest of a nearby town called Edinburg.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live that isn't officially a city or town. It doesn't have its own mayor or town council. Instead, the county government handles services like roads and schools for everyone living there.
These communities often have a name, like Hamburg, and might have a post office or a few businesses. But they don't have the same legal boundaries or local rules as a city or town.
