The fact that they AREN'T mentioned in the Constitution leaves the issue open to interpretation. Some people saw a need, decided a local gov. was the solution, and that the Constitution didn't say you couldn't do it, so they created a local gov.

The Bill of Rights says that anything not included in the Constitution is left to the states and "to the people" which includes local communities.
