Malone, sometimes called Mudville, is a small place in Morgan County, Kentucky, in the United States. It's not a big city or a town with its own government. Instead, it's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of a larger county, but they don't have their own local mayor or city council.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community like Malone is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own separate local government. Instead, it's governed directly by the county it's in. For Malone, that's Morgan County. This means that services like roads, police, and fire departments are usually managed by the county government, not by a separate city hall in Malone itself.
Where is Malone Located?
Malone is found in the eastern part of Kentucky. It's located along a road called Route 191. If you travel north on this road, you'll reach the city of West Liberty. West Liberty is important because it's the "county seat" of Morgan County. A county seat is like the main town in a county, where the county government offices are located.
