Toddville is a small place located in Dorchester County, Maryland, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's not a city or a town with its own local government, like a mayor or a city council. Instead, it's part of the larger county and shares services with it.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community, like Toddville, is a group of homes and businesses that are not officially part of a city or town. They are governed by the county or state instead. This can mean that services like police, fire, and road maintenance are provided by the county government.
Where is Toddville Located?
Toddville is situated in a beautiful part of Maryland. It is about 1.5 miles (which is about 2.4 kilometers) northeast of another community called Wingate. Its location in Dorchester County places it near the Chesapeake Bay, a large and important estuary.
Life in Toddville
