Hannah, Georgia facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Hannah is a small place in southern Douglas County, Georgia, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community, which means it's a group of homes or buildings that isn't officially part of a city or town. Instead, it's governed directly by the county.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community like Hannah is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government, like a mayor or city council. Instead, the county government takes care of things like roads, police, and fire services for everyone living there. This is different from a city, which has its own local rules and services.

Why are Some Places Unincorporated?

Sometimes, a community starts small and grows without ever officially becoming a city. Other times, people might prefer to be unincorporated because it can mean fewer local taxes or different rules compared to a nearby city. It's a way for areas to develop while still being under the county's main authority.
