Smilax is a small place in Leslie County, Kentucky, United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it is a settlement that is not officially governed as a city or town.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live together, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it is usually managed by the larger county government. People in these areas still get services like roads and police, but they come from the county instead of a local city hall.
