Georgia
- Milton County once existed, but in the 1930s it merged (along with other counties and towns) with Fulton County, in the 1930s to save money during the Great Depression. More recently, land-use and other divisions have inspired discussion of the re-establishment of Milton County.
- In Gwinnett County there is an active movement for the secession of the more affluent Northern portion of the county, which feels it is poorly represented in the Lawrenceville government despite the large amount of tax revenue derived from the area.
