What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a type of settlement that doesn't have its own separate government. Unlike a city or town, it doesn't have its own mayor, city hall, or local police department. Instead, it relies on the county government for public services.

This means that things like road maintenance, law enforcement, and other public services are provided by Kanawha County. Many small communities across the United States are unincorporated.
