Time until next new county

[gerritcole]

The newest county in the continental USA is brromfield co in 2001, Alaska had two country equivalents in 2019, when will the next new one be? You’d think it’d come up eventually as demographics change. La county for example should be divided for better governance

[gerritcole]

There was a somewhat serious movement for separating out northern Fulton County in the early 00s; it might have passed except it would require deleting a county elsewhere.

Interestingly until 1931 it was its own county, Milton County

I remember reading modern Milton would be less dem than rump Fulton county and perhaps would have acted as a more typical Atlanta suburb county like Gwinnett or Cobb
