What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community like Jolleyville is a collection of homes and buildings that are not officially part of a city or town. They don't have their own local government to make rules or provide services like trash collection or police. Instead, these services are usually managed by the larger county or township government.

This type of community is common in many parts of the United States. People living there often rely on the county for things like roads, schools, and emergency services.
