Joetown is a small place in Marion County, West Virginia, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town usually does. Instead, it's often part of a larger county. For example, Joetown is part of Marion County.
This means that services like roads, police, and fire departments are usually managed by the county government, not by a separate local government just for Joetown. People living in unincorporated communities still follow the laws of their county and state.
