Unincorporated area Region of land not governed by own local government

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.

Heaton, Arizona Populated Place in Arizona, United States

Heaton is a populated place situated in Pinal County, Arizona. Originally called Maricopa Station, it served as a stop on the railroad line, where passengers transferred to stagecoach. The post office at this location was simply named Maricopa. During a land boom in the late 1880s, it was thought that this stop would become a railway stop on the line directly connecting to Phoenix. As expansion into a town was being considered if the planned rail connection became reality, the expanded community was to be named Maricopaville. In 1887, when the rail line connection went to Maricopa Junction instead, the town's expansion was abandoned, and the name of the town was changed to its current Heaton. It has an estimated elevation of 1,197 feet (365 m) above sea level.
