Roach is a small place located in Cabell County, West Virginia, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it is managed by the county government.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a group of homes or buildings that are not part of any official city or town. These areas are directly governed by the county or a larger regional government. People living in unincorporated communities still receive services like police and fire protection from the county.
