Lincolnshire is a small place in Wood County, West Virginia. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and buildings that don't have their own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's managed by the larger county government.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or town. It doesn't have its own mayor or city council. Instead, the county government takes care of services like roads and public safety.
This is different from a city, which has its own local government. Cities can make their own rules and collect taxes for local services. Unincorporated communities rely on the county for these things.
