Counties between States

[roadman65]

And I am not talking about corner counties like Sussex in NJ that is bordered on the north and east by New York and the west and north by Pennsylvania.  I am talking about a county like Worcester in Maryland that has Virginia on the south side and Delaware on the north.

Yes the states the counties border on cannot touch either So the other side of MD at Hancock where WV and PA are on opposite sides of Washington County as both do touch each other.

What can anyone come up with?

Oklahoma panhandle.

Berkshire County, MA and Worcester County, MA.

Mohave County, AZ.

[7/8]

Coos County, NH borders VT and ME. Westchester County, NY borders NJ and CT. New Castle County, NJ borders MD and NJ. Cimarron County, OK borders TX, NM, CO, and KS. Mohave County, AZ borders CA and UT. Boundary and Bounty Counties, ID border WA and MT. Erie County, PA borders OH and NY. Berkshire County, MA borders CT and VT. Rockingham County, NH borders MA and ME.

Edit: 1 beat me to a few of these

Idaho has three: Bonner and Boundary County (Washington-Montana) and Idaho County (Oregon-Montana).

New Castle County, NJ borders MD and NJ.

I think you meant New Castle County, DE.  It also borders PA, but considering it borders both MD and NJ you may have omitted it on purpose.

MN has St. Louis (Wisconsin/Ontario), although you cannot transit between the two by road within the county. Lake County qualifies if maritime boundaries are included.

MN has St. Louis (Wisconsin/Ontario), although you cannot transit between the two by road within the county.

Why is St Louis county so big? I would divide it into two counties, with Duluth the seat of one and Hibbing or Virginia the seat of the other.

That has actually been discussed within recent years, with Duluth opposing a split and the Range cities being more in favor. (Dollars to donuts says the new county containing the Range cities would be called Iron or Taconite County)

Oklahoma panhandle.

Which is three counties that fit the bill: Cimarron, Texas, and Beaver.

St. Louis County has been in its present shape since 1857.  Splits (generally Duluth in one of the new counties and the Iron Range communities in the other) have been considered, notably in 2007, but have not progressed owing to inertia and a reluctance to spend money duplicating administrative machinery in a new county.

Hudspeth County, Texas is between Chihuahua and New Mexico.

Hudspeth County, Texas is between Chihuahua and New Mexico.

But Chihuahua and New Mexico are adjacent estados/states, sharing the international border west of Ciudad Juarez/El Paso.

I saw that, but somehow when examining the criteria one of the wires got crossed.

[1995hoo]

All 4 WV northern panhandle counties touch PA and OH.  The four easternmost eastern panhandle counties touch VA and MD.

If I'm not mistaken, a specified criterion was that the bordering states may not touch at all.

[jp the roadgeek]

Frederick County, MD does qualify, as it touches both VA and PA, which do not border (US 15 follows the connection)

Heh.  So it does.  That's what I get for jumping the gun with what I thought were glaring examples.  Post deleted.

[Road Hog]

Pemiscot County, MO in the Bootheel touches Arkansas and Kentucky.

[US 89]

Hidalgo County, NM borders Arizona and Chihuahua, which do not otherwise touch. Yuma County, AZ does the same thing with California and Sonora.

[golden eagle]

Erie County, PA, touches Ohio to the west and New York to the east. Ohio and New York do not border each other.

[Flint1979]

Nothing with that small of a gap in Michigan.

[csw]

Pemiscot County, MO in the Bootheel touches Arkansas and Kentucky.

Check that again, it's close, but doesn't quite make it to KY.
