| This may be an odd question but how exactly are towns formed?, how many people have to live in an area before it becomes a town?, and do they just decide to declare it a town, how do they go about doing it?, how would the postoffice get word?, basicly whats to keep someone from just buying some unincorporated land, declare it a town, make themselves police chief, and order all the NFA stuff they want?.... |
I am sure you need state and county aproval, permits, and other stuff. taxes would be fun. |

I actually knew a guy that did that... got his property done up as a town. He and his wife elected himself as mayor. He hired himself as police chief. But he was in a rural area. IF you are already in a town, and your neighborhood wants to split off and become its own little town, in most states it takes an act of the state Legislature to do it. |

Most likely it is hard to do these days. I do believe that there are still some dead or almost dead towns that were giving away property for the most part if you moved there and lived there for a while. You could buy your own town for less hassle than starting a new one I figure. |
