Scotia, CA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotia,_California It is a “company town”, but it is not incorporated. You can also find a company town near you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_company_towns_in_the_U...

I was hoping there would be one in Georgia, but we're one of the 8 states without one.

These are fascinating.

Of course Walt Disney owns the most famous instance of these.

There's a lot to be said for building little villages all over the north state to support the amount of forestry that needs doing these days, which is quite a bit. The state says it wants to do preventative cutting and burning on a million acres per year but so far has been doing something between .1% and 1% of that goal. There's no money in it, so the state would just have to pour in the funds. But that's no different to the way everything else is paid for in that part of the state.

The Walt Disney Company does. I realize the shorthand is valid, but it just reads like Walt is still alive. I guess I’m being pedantic for my own sake…

Being even more pedantic, he maybe still is, by some definition.
