The most unusual new county created was Bullfrog County, Nevada. It was carved out of Nye County to house the Yucca Mountain waste site because the federal government had planned to give revenues directly to Nye County instead of the state of Nevada. The state decided to make a new county with a population of zero around the site to funnel the money into state hands. Due to a myriad of legal issues, Bullfrog County was quickly dissolved back into Nye County.
