Wylo is a small place in West Virginia, United States. It is located in Logan County. Wylo is known as an unincorporated community.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community is a place that does not have its own local government. This means it is not officially a city or a town. Instead, it is usually managed by the larger county it is part of. For Wylo, that is Logan County.

How are Unincorporated Communities Different?

  • They do not have a mayor or a city council.
  • Services like police or fire departments are often provided by the county.
  • Rules and laws for the area come from the county government.
  • People living there still follow state and national laws.

Wylo is one of many such communities across the United States. These places are often smaller and more rural.
