Community Information
for Virginia
A county of the United States is a local level of government smaller than a
state but generally larger than a city or town, in a U.S. state or territory.
The actual term "county" describes them in 48 of the 50 states; Louisiana uses
the term "parish" and Alaska uses the word "borough." Including those, there are
3,086 counties in the United States, an average of 62 counties per state. The
state with the fewest counties is Delaware (three), and the state with the most
is Texas (254). In many states, counties are subdivided into townships or towns
and may contain other independent, self-governing municipalities.
