What is an Unincorporated Community?
An "unincorporated community" is a place that doesn't have its own local government, like a city hall or a mayor. Instead, it's usually governed by the larger county it's part of. For Ruthven, this means Imperial County helps manage things like roads and services.
Where is Ruthven Located?
Ruthven is found in the southeastern part of California. It sits right along the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. This community is about 4.5 miles (or 7.2 kilometers) southeast of another place called Glamis. Ruthven is located at an elevation of 377 feet (which is about 115 meters) above sea level.
