Lowber is a small place located in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and possibly businesses that don't have their own local government. Instead, it's governed by a larger area, like a county or township.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it's not officially a town or city. It doesn't have its own mayor or town council. Instead, the local government for this area is usually the county or a larger township.
This is different from a city or borough, which has its own elected officials. These officials make rules and provide services just for that specific area. In an unincorporated community, services like roads and police might be managed by the county.
