Stepstone is a small place in Kentucky, USA. It's not a city or town with its own government. Instead, it's an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and people living together without a formal local government. Stepstone sits right on the edge of two counties: Montgomery County and Bath County.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or town. It doesn't have its own mayor or city council. Instead, it's usually governed by the county it's in. Stepstone is special because it's split between two counties.
Stepstone's Post Office History
For almost 50 years, Stepstone had its own post office. This was a central place for people to send and receive mail. It was an important part of the community's daily life. However, the post office eventually closed in 1931. After that, people in Stepstone likely got their mail from a nearby town.
