Question

Which two states call their counties something else (boroughs and parishes) ? Question 3 options:

Answer 1

Answer:

Alaska and Louisiana.

Explanation:

Counties are a type of internal territorial subdivision in the United States, with a lower hierarchy than states. Thus, a set of several counties in turn forms a state. They are, in short, the form of local territorial organization of a specific and determined area, in turn made up of several cities.

The name "County" is used in the vast majority of the 50 states, except for two particular cases: Alaska and Louisiana. Thus, in Alaska these types of organizational structures are called "Boroughs", while in Louisiana their name is "Parishes", thanks to its French colonial heritage.
