i'm looking thru a very old copy of monitor america. counties are listed,as are parishes. my question is are these simular or the same as burroughs in new york city? thanks
In Lousiana, the counties are called "parishes". The parishes provide the same services as counties in the other parts of the USA - Sheriff, Court, prison, roads, etc.
Seems to me that the Boroughs of NYC are similar to "sub counties".
