Spider is a small place in Knott County, Kentucky, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and people living together, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community like Spider is a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or town. It doesn't have its own mayor or town council. Instead, it's usually governed by the county it's in. For Spider, that's Knott County.

History of Spider

Spider had its own post office for many years. This post office first opened in 1910. It helped people in the community send and receive mail. However, the post office eventually closed down in 1957.
