California: Inland Empire Template‑class | ||||||||||
|
Greetings. I have stumbled across the San Bernardino County template many times over the years and have always wondered about the "Unincorporated communities" section. Over the past years, this section has expanded to include former communities that are currently uninhabited and now only exist in name. As a researcher of historic San Bernardino County desert communities, I am very familiar with the history of many of these settlements and can confirm that a good number of the locations listed in this section are completely abandoned. Here are some examples:
The question may come down to what qualifies a location as "unincorporated" -- from my understanding, it signifies that there is in fact, residents present at the location although their form of local government lacks formal incorporated or census-designated place (CDP) status. I encourage contributors to view County templates of other municipalities to see what the rule of thumb is for including uninhabited settlements/ghost towns in the "Unincorporated communities" section. My initial recommendation would be to remove abandoned locations and place them in a separate list someplace else. Please share your views and comments on here.

why is this even an unincorporated community? this town became part of fontana california. it should not even have its own article. this was the name for southern fontana prior to fontana's incorporation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.24.250.160 ( talk) 05:49, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Should there be a section for military communities such as Fort Irwin Military Reservation? Binksternet ( talk) 16:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
some of these unincorporated communities have a community service district, should it be apart from the unicorporated communities. they are not in direct control by the county and offer some services themselves. the ones off the top of my head that i can remember are newberry, baker, dagget and yermo. these have partial control. they should have their own section in this template.
