Driving through Wisconsin, we see a lot of small towns with signs stating the name of the town with the word "Unincorporated" underneath it. Does anyone know what this means?

No formal city government. No city hall, no city fire or police.
County provides all these services.

These "unincorporated" towns are escape grounds for registered sex offenders. I was interested in a house in an unincorporated town and caught on fast. Sadly, there are elementary schools in lots of unincorporated localities.

In North American law, a region of land is unincorporated if it is not a part of any municipality. To "incorporate" in this context means to form a municipal corporation, i.e., a city or town with its own government. Thus, an unincorporated community is usually not subject to or taxed by a city government. However, such regions are generally administered by default as a part of larger territorial divisions such as: township, county, state, province, canton, parish, or country. It is uncommon, but not unknown, for small towns in fiscal crisis to disincorporate in order to have services provided by a higher administration.

It generally means that the town is small in population, and has no formal government or bylaws by which is functions. It also means that they are vunerable to lawsuits .
