What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live close together, but it's not officially a city or a village. It doesn't have its own mayor or town council. Instead, it's governed by the larger county or town it's located within.
Why are some places unincorporated?
Many small communities start without a formal government. They might not have enough people to form their own city. Being part of a larger town or county helps manage services like roads and schools.
