There are national associations for most of the five types of governments, including the
National Association of Counties, the
National League of Cities, and the
National Association of Towns and Townships.
The
National School Boards Association has a relevant web site for information on school districts.
Special districts, by virtue of their specialized nature, tend to have function-specific national organizations. For example, there is a
National Association of Conservation Districts.
Interesting web sites for individual counties include Florida's
Miami-Dade County, California's
Los Angeles County, and Missouri's
St. Louis County.
For information on cities, check out the
Big Apple and
Dallas.
