Why cant I find a list of counties for Alaska?
Alaska is not organized into counties. Instead our state has eighteen geographical areas known as “boroughs.” Boroughs are very roughly equivalent to counties and operate in similar functions (administering local taxes, laws, etc.) However, more than half the state’s area does not fall into any of the boroughs and is designated as unorganized – these are in the most sparsely populated and remote areas of the state.
