In
American local government, a consolidated city-county is a city and county that have been merged into one jurisdiction. As such, it is simultaneously a city, which is a
municipal corporation; and a county, which is an administrative division of a state. This is the opposite of an
independent city, which is a
city that is not located within the boundaries of any county, but is separate from the neighboring county; however, an independent city can also result from the consolidation of a city and a county. The highest concentration of large consolidated governments in the United States is in the lower midwest and upper south, where
Indianapolis, Indiana;
Nashville, Tennessee;
Louisville, Kentucky;
Kansas City, Kansas; and
Lexington, Kentucky are located.
