New Liberty is a small place located in Pope County, Illinois, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and buildings that doesn't have its own official town or city government. Instead, it's managed by the larger county it's in.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it's not a city or town with its own mayor or town council. These areas are usually smaller. They rely on the county government for services like police, fire, and roads. It's different from a city, which has its own local laws and leaders.
Where is New Liberty?
New Liberty is found in the southern part of Illinois. It is located about 10 miles (which is about 16 kilometers) east of a town called Brookport. It's a quiet spot where people live, enjoying the rural areas of Pope County.
