Glendale in Arapahoe County Colorado is completely surrounded by the City and County of Denver. Denver has uncountable enclaves that are not only not part of the city but part of a different county. Some of the enclaves are as small as just one single house.
Most of the larger more sprawling cities have enclaves like that. Just do a Google Maps search for any city. If you can see the red city limits lines, you can find many enclaves.
Yeah, I guess out east it's more unique so I was always intrigued by it. Borders have been annexed and done with for years that when you see an anomaly it sticks out.
Western:
Del
Pennsylvania
Kentucky
Tennessee
Louisiana
Missouri
Texas
California
Alaska
Georgia before Kentucky, right?

By that I mean that it is surrounded by Chicago city limits on all sides.
Not sure if other big cities have a place like this?
Bratenahl, OH is surrounded by Cleveland, also with a long border on Lake Erie.

I feel that also occurs elsewhere in the nation. Anyone have a local situation like that?
Also just outside Cleveland, the corner of West 130th Street and Sprague Road divides the cities of Parma, Middeburg Heights, North Royalton, and Strongsville. My grandparents lived not far from there.
There are three US states whose names begin with the same letter, and which one can drive from one to the next to next without passing through any other states. Can you guess which ones?
Besides Illinois-Indiana, what is the only other pair of adjacent states also back-to-back in alphabetical order?
Although 1/3 of the states begin with M or N, there is only one adjacent pair of M- or N- states
I’m gonna say Michigan and Minnesota, which share a water border.
The only letter of the alphabet that is not found in the name of any of the 50 states is Q. Not only that, Q doesn’t appear in the name of any US territory or dependency. Nor does Q appear in the name of any of the 50 largest U.S. lakes.
Thus, one might conclude that Q is rarely found in place names at all. Not so. It’s found in the names of 2 Mexican states, a Canadian province, and an Australian state.
