Major cities with major suburbs located in other states
Charlotte, NC = Rock Hill, SC
Cincinnati, OH = Florence, KY
Kansas City, MO = Overland Park, KS
Memphis, TN = Southaven, MS
New York, NY = Greenwich, CT and Hoboken, NJ
Philadelphia, PA = Cherry Hill, NJ
St. Louis, MO = Belleville, IL
Washington, DC = Gaithersburg, MD and Manassas, VA
Kansas City has always popped into my head as a major place where there's a state line that dives right through the metro area with no natural barrier. Many places are split over state lines, but a lot have things like major rivers separating them. It gives you a sense that you're crossing over into another area. In Kansas City you walk west from downtown, and hello - you're in Kansas.
The state line splits right down residential streets. Thousands of people can run across to their neighbors house and be in a different state.
The Chicago area also has around 750,000 people in the suburbs who are over in Indiana, but the lake kinda "pinches" the Indiana burbs off from being right next to the bulk of the Chicago burbs.
Stamford, CT is a larger suburb of NYC than Greenwich is. Greenwich is more of an exclusive bedroom community (like Scarsdale, Darien, New Canaan, Alpine), while Stamford is a major transportation hub and hedge fund/financial capital in the region.
Actually most of NJ population is a suburb of either NYC or Philly so 8.5 million people in NJ, yeah a fairly major suburb in a different state than the main city
El Paso - Juarez
San Diego - Tijuana
Detroit - Windsor
