This may have what you want:
https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/codes/cou.html
Note that each county in the us has a 'fips' code. We use it in our
database to track taxes.
CA,06,081,San Mateo County,H1 is from that file. 06=California, 081= San Mateo
County. census.gov has a lot of other information.

Or, "L.A." for short.
I don't think there is a finite list Prefixes, or Suffixes, for that
matter. We have "Townships" and "Purchase" and all sorts of quirky names in
New Hampshire I hadn't encountered elsewhere. "Gilmanton Ironworks" for
example.
I did use a commercial service when building a geo-spatial list for a
client around a decade ago. They supplied name(s) -- most
city/town/villages have several -- along with ZIP codes and long/lat. I
think you can get SOME of that from USPS and Kevin suggests, and you might
also check the U.S. Census Bureau, that has lots of stuff, much of it
publicly available.
OTOH, we might ask what you're up to. Rather than build local data that's
likely out-of-date before you're done parsing, maybe there are already some
services on the web that can supply what you're after.

When parsing addresses some cities can be two or three words. Has anyone
seen a list of prefixes? For example "New" in "New River" or "St." in "St.
Johns".
TIA
