Springvale is a small, quiet place in the state of Minnesota, United States. It's not a big city or even a small town with its own mayor. Instead, it's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of a larger area called Springvale Township in Isanti County.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community like Springvale is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own separate local government. Think of it this way:

• Most cities have their own mayor, city council, and police department.
• Unincorporated communities don't have these things.
• Instead, they are governed by the larger county or township they are located in.
• For Springvale, the Isanti County government helps with things like roads and public safety.
