Shackle Island is a community,like Bethpage I guess, it has it's people who live there- it's volunteer fire department but no formal government separate from County Services like Sheriff or even Mayor.Hendersonville City Limits stop at Good Shepard Methodist Church.For a long time, Beech lacked a lot of support from Hendersonville businesses because it was "far away" from town even though it was built to keep Hendersonville from overcrowding.
