From: Kristina Yin Most county .gov domains must include the two-letter state abbreviation or the full state name. County names that aren’t shared by any other city, county, parish, town, borough, village or equivalent in the U.S., at the time a domain is granted, can be requested without referring to the state. Counties can include “county” in their domain to distinguish it from other places with similar names. We use the Census Bureau’s National Places Gazetteer Files to determine if county names are unique. Most county .gov domains must include the two-letter state abbreviation or the full state name.
