Jolly is a small place in the United States. It is located in Kentucky, a state known for its beautiful landscapes. Jolly is not a city or a town. Instead, it is called an "unincorporated community." This means it does not have its own local government.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a special kind of place. It is a group of homes and businesses. But it does not have its own city government. This means it does not have a mayor or a city council. Instead, the larger county government manages it. For Jolly, this means Webster County helps with things like roads and services.

Many small places in the United States are unincorporated. They are often rural areas. People living there still have neighbors and a sense of community. They just rely on the county for public services.
