Interesting. Maybell Colorado is an unincorporated area. According to wikipedia that means theyre not governed by their own municipal corporation, but rather is administered as part of larger administrative divisions: An administrative division is a portion of a country or other region delineated for the purpose of administration. Administrative divisions are each granted a certain degree of autonomy and are usually required to manage themselves through their own local governments. Countries are divided up into these smaller units to make managing their land and the affairs of their people easier. For example, a country may be divided into provinces, which, in turn, are divided into counties, which, in turn, may be divided in whole or in part into municipalities; and so on. Administrative divisions are conceptually separate from dependent territories, with the former being an integral part of the state and the other being only under some lesser form of control. However, the term administrative division can include dependent territories as well as accepted administrative divisions (for example, in geographical databases). A municipal corporation is: ...the legal term for a local governing body, including (but not necessarily limited to) cities, counties, towns, townships, charter townships, villages, and boroughs. Municipal incorporation occurs when such municipalities become self-governing entities under the laws of the state or province in which they are located. Often, this event is marked by the award or declaration of a municipal charter. As of the 2010 census Maybell had a population of 72. Its now 92. Still have to look into more about Maybell, and other towns like it, but so far seems like a real community. Anyone know much about Maybell Colorado? Compass Colorado? ;)
