Unincorporated communities in Oklahoma are areas that are not governed by their own local municipal corporation. Instead, they fall under the jurisdiction of the county in which they are located. These communities often lack a formal government structure, which means they do not have elected officials or city services like police and fire departments. Many unincorporated communities in Oklahoma are small and may consist of a few homes or businesses. They can be found throughout the state, often in rural areas, and may have unique local identities. Residents typically rely on the county for essential services and infrastructure.
