I'd do a Georgia list too, but I'm very tired right now, and there are too damn many counties in Georgia to sort through, so I'll let somebody else do it, although I'll do it myself if nobody else has by the time I'm back on the computer tomorrow.

Now make yo' list!

I know; that's why I left it off the "unique" list and put it on the "cool" list.

IDK. I had to check and see if any of the ones I listed were in other states. I just checked the most uncommon sounding ones to make sure.

These are just guesses...I don't know of a database that lists unique county names.

Sequatchie
Unicoi
Obion
Dyer
Hamblen
Maury
Weakley
Fentress
Pickett
Cheatham
McNairy
Cannon
Rhea
Bledsoe
Trousdale
Loudon (not Loudoun!)
Grainger
Hawkins
Cocke

I think that would be it. Could be wrong.


Sequatchie is definitely the most interesting of the names.

In my birth state of Arkansas the following county names seem unique, as county names, to the state.

Arkansas
Chicot
Conway
Craighead
Desha - There doesn't even seem to be many places outside India named Desha.
Drew
Faulkner
Garland
Hempstead
Hot Spring
Izard - I don't find any other place named Izard anywhere, named for an Arkansas governor.
Little River
Lonoke - I'm not sure I find anything else called "Lonoke" with that spelling.
Poinsett
Searcy - Named for an Arkansas judge.
St. Francis
Sebastian
Sharp
Woodruff
Yell

Also there is a Parish in Louisiana called "Ouachita", but apparently Arkansas is the only one with a Ouachita County.
