If all of you want to have some fun with jurisdictional boundaries, take a look
at College Corner, OH/IN. It is a village purposefully straddling the OH/IN
state lines with the main street being the state line. It has two zip codes,
is in three counties (two in OH, one in IN) and school district issues to
match. It puts paid to a lot of ideas we all have about jurisdictional
hierarchies and boundaries. Delmar in Delaware/Maryland has similar, though
not quite as complicated issues. I'm sure there are other examples
In terms of administration, West College Corner, Indiana, and College
Corner, Ohio, are two distinct municipalities incorporated under the
laws of their respective states, even though they form a single
community. There's a West College Corner welcome sign as you cross into
Indiana on U.S. 27. [1]
There are other "twinned" cities along the Ohio-Indiana border --
namely, Union City and Harrison (with West Harrison) -- but this is the
only pair that shares a school district (in practice, if not on paper). [2]
