Una is a small place in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government, like a mayor or city council. Instead, it is managed by the larger Spartanburg 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 separate government. Instead, the county government takes care of services like roads and public safety. This is different from a city, which has its own leaders and rules.

How Una is Governed

Because Una is unincorporated, decisions for the area are made by the Spartanburg County government. This includes things like local laws and how public services are provided. Residents of Una are part of the larger county system.

Where is Una Located?

Una is found in the northwestern part of Spartanburg County. It is located about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) northwest of the main downtown area of Spartanburg. This makes it close to a larger city, but still a distinct community.

Una's Post Office

One important feature of Una is its post office. The post office serves the community and has its own ZIP code, which is 29378. This post office first opened a long time ago, on November 14, 1928. It helps people in Una send and receive mail.
