Actually, here in Virginia, cities are completely independent of any county.
Once a city and a county have 'consolidated', i.e., the City of Newport News
and Warwick County in 1957, that county ceases to exist.
Well, I take that back. The City of Poquoson used to be a part of York
County and back in the 1970's, it split off from York County and is now
independent of York but York still exists.

York County (I think:)
