, which protrudes from the northwestern corner of the county, covering about 18 square miles (46.6 km²). Hart's Location has incorporated as a town, however, and thus is not currently unincorporated territory, despite its name. Hart's Location appears to have had an on-again/off-again history as an incorporated town, most recently incorporating in the 1980s. On the tables below, Hart's Location is shown as a town during those periods when it is believed to have been an incorporated town, and shown as unorganized territory during those periods when it is believed to have been an unincorporated location. Hart's Location has reported population in every census since 1900, but in two of the three censuses in which Hale's Location has reported population (1960 and 2000), Hale's Location had the larger population of the two.

 and cities. The tables in the New England Historical U.S. Census Totals series differentiate between towns and cities; however, there have never been any cities in Carroll County. For any census, adding up the totals for each municipality, including the two locations, should yield the county total.
