Miami is pretty strange as to what they decided to make city and suburb.
Miami's limits are not that odd at all compared to all of these other cities. As for what "they" decided to make a suburb, one can say that it's actually a better representation of a city since it doesn't include all of its suburbs. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mi...!4d-80.1917902
Las Vegas is at least as weird as LA. The strip of course is not in the City of Las Vegas but in unincorporated Clark County. The County consists of unincorporated County, Three good sized cities and a set of smaller municipalities. The area in which we live is in fact an unincorporated County area of around 20 square miles entirely surrounded by the City of Las Vegas. There are small pieces of County embedded in all the cities.
Norfolk County, Mass. has two different towns that are exclaves, Brookline and Cohasset. From Wikipedia: "The county is not completely contiguous; the towns of Brookline and Cohasset are each part of Norfolk County but are separated from the majority of Norfolk County (and each other) by either water or other counties. At the county's formation, Hingham and Hull were to be part of it, but joined Plymouth County instead, leaving Cohasset as the initial exclave of Norfolk County and an enclave of Plymouth County. Brookline became the second exclave of Norfolk County in 1873 when the neighboring town of West Roxbury was annexed by Boston (thus leaving Norfolk County to join Suffolk County) and Brookline refused to be annexed by Boston after the Brookline-Boston annexation debate of 1873."
Those "holes" are the legacy of annexation. The city of Columbus used annexation as tool to retain tax revenue in a time when many central cities were declining.
