Elmore is an unincorporated community in the town of Ashford, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States. [1]
In law, an unincorporated area is a region of land that is not governed by a local municipal corporation; similarly an unincorporated community is a settlement that is not governed by its own local municipal corporation, but rather is administered as part of larger administrative divisions, such as a township, parish, borough, county, city, canton, state, province or country. Occasionally, municipalities dissolve or disincorporate, which may happen if they become fiscally insolvent, and services become the responsibility of a higher administration. Widespread unincorporated communities and areas are a distinguishing feature of the United States and Canada. In most other countries of the world, there are either no unincorporated areas at all, or these are very rare; typically remote, outlying, sparsely populated or uninhabited areas.
Ashford is a town in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 1,773 at the 2000 census. The unincorporated communities of Ashford and Elmore are located in the town.

Fond du Lac is French for "bottom of the lake", so given because of the county's location at the southern shore of Lake Winnebago.
