Talleys Corner is a small place in New Castle County, Delaware, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that aren't officially a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
What is Talleys Corner?
Talleys Corner is a quiet area where people live and work. It's not like a big city with a mayor and city council. Instead, the county government, New Castle County, helps manage things like roads, police, and fire services for the people living there.
Where is Talleys Corner Located?
You can find Talleys Corner in the northeastern part of Delaware. It's located near the intersection of two roads: Delaware Route 261 and Silverside Road. If you know Wilmington, a larger city in Delaware, Talleys Corner is just a bit northeast of it. It's also east of another community called Talleyville.
Being an Unincorporated Community
Being an "unincorporated community" means that Talleys Corner doesn't have its own separate government. It relies on the county for most public services. This is different from a "city" or "town," which usually has its own mayor, police department, and local rules. Many small places in the United States are unincorporated communities.
