What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it is not officially a city or town. It does not have a mayor or its own city council. Services like roads, police, and fire departments are usually handled by the larger county government. Many small communities, especially in rural areas, are unincorporated.

Stowe is about 8 miles (13 km) east-northeast of a town called Man. The elevation of Stowe is about 1,060 feet (323 meters) above sea level.
