Hildebrand Village is a small, unincorporated community located in Addison Township, which is part of Shelby County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. This means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own separate local government like a city or town. Instead, it's usually managed by the county government.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a group of homes or businesses that are not part of an official city or town. They don't have their own mayor or city council. Instead, the county government takes care of things like roads, police, and fire services for these areas.

• Many small places across the United States are unincorporated communities.
• They often have a name and a ZIP code, just like Hildebrand Village does (46176).
