According to the State of Florida, it's only Dade County. Miami is one of several cities in Dade County. They do have a metro government (Dade County went bust, and merged government with the city of Miami), however, the county still exists as a geographical entity. http://dlis.dos.state.fl.us/stlib/cocity.html
Similar governmental situations exist in Metro Nashville-Davidson County, Tennessee, and Metro Lynchburg-Moore County, Tennessee. I do thing the CQ list should be definitive for our purposes. de N5NW (Marty) Bellbrook (Greene County), Ohio -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Art Searle Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 11:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DXBase] What's the real county name??? > Hi Folks, > > We need some guidance about three county names that seem to be in constant > dispute.

The county's real name is Richmond 2 The county's real name is Hillsborough http://www.hillsboroughcountynh.org/ 3. The county's real name is Miami-Dade http://miamidade.gov/ However do you really want the county's real name or the name given on the County Hunters Award list? I think the later and that would give you one source for all county names at http://www.countyhunter.com/counties.htm . So according to the keepers of the award the names are: 1. Richmond (formerly Staten Island) 2. Hillsboro 3. Miami-Dade The benefit of using the County Hunters name is if anyone complains you can just send them to their web site for a fix. 73, Art _______________________________________________ DXBase Reflector - Please visit us on the web at www.dxbase.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To UNSUBSCRIBE please visit: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase
