Nipomo News and
Nipomo Incorporation
I haven't gotten through 1/100th of all of the information on the sites yet. Today, I happened to read a blog post (on nipomonews.org) that may be of interest to you. The blog post is from 11/2006, so a little old, however it gives some good "foundation" type information on the incorporation/non-incorporation topic. It is here:
Nipomo’s Independence From San Luis Obispo County « Nipomo News
After you read the older blog post; you can find more recent information on the topic at the nipomoincorporation.org website.
