What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community like Red Rock is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own separate local government. This means it doesn't have its own mayor, city council, or police department like a city or town would. Instead, the services and rules for Red Rock are managed by the larger Upshur County government. Think of it like a neighborhood that's part of a bigger county, rather than being its own independent town.
