In law, an unincorporated area is a region of land that is not governed by its own local municipal corporation which is instead administered as part of larger administrative divisions, such as a township, parish, borough, county, canton, state, province or country. Occasionally small towns disincorporate, which may happen if they become fiscally insolvent, and services become the responsibility of a higher administration; for example, Cabazon, California was disincorporated in 1972. In some countries all parts of the country are incorporated. France is subdivided into 36,685 municipalities.
In Australia, the unincorporated areas are places outside municipal council boundaries, usually in remote areas. Some are of vast area but tiny population. Until 30 June 2008, there were large unincorporated areas in the Northern Territory with over 9,000 kilometres (5,600 mi) of roads in those areas with 92 percent of the territory area and 16.5 percent of its population. With the reform of local government on 1 July 2008, these shares dropped to 1.45 percent of the area and 4.0 percent of the population. The remaining unincorporated areas in the Northern Territory are the Unincorporated Top End Region (Finniss-Mary, the largest), the Darwin Rates Act Area (East Arm), Nhulunbuy, Alyangula in the northern region, and Yulara in the southern region.
