White Oak is a small place in Morgan County, Kentucky, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community," which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's part of the larger county area.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community like White Oak is a group of homes or buildings that are not officially part of a city or town. This means they don't have their own mayor or city council. Instead, the services for the area, like roads or police, are usually managed by the larger county government.
Where is White Oak Located?
White Oak is found in the eastern part of Kentucky. It lies along a road called U.S. Route 460. If you travel southeast from West Liberty, which is the main town and the "county seat" of Morgan County, you would reach White Oak. The county seat is where the main government offices for the county are located.
