(84,711 posts)The New England "Township System" of Govt. is still there....but how the Federal Government Allocates is still by Counties and CT still has Counties. But, since I lived in CT it seems that two of the counties I lived in have changed their status.
Connecticut's court jurisdictions still adhere to the county boundaries, except for Fairfield, Hartford and New Haven, which have been further subdivided into several jurisdictions.
That still doesn't mean that if Hartford or New haven had Riots that other Counties wouldn't be called in to offer resources by the Governor or Dept. of Homeland Security, though.
That's why we ALL SHOULD BE WORRIED....not matter WHAT STATE WE LIVE IN...because our State/County Laws are subservient to US Govt. and Military Police State.
That's what I think that we are trying to be awakened to....with what's going on with the Militarization of our Police that's been uncovered in Full View in the Ferguson Situation which is getting to the level of what we lived with in the 60's and early 70's.

Connecticut counties
This is a list of counties in Connecticut. There are currently eight counties in the U.S. state of Connecticut. Four of them were created in 1666, during the first consolidation of the colony of Connecticut from a number of smaller colonies. Two counties were created during colonial times, and two counties, Middlesex and Tolland, were created after American independence (both in 1785). Six of the counties are named for locations in England, where many early Connecticut settlers originated.[1]
Although Connecticut is divided into counties, there is no county government in Connecticut and local government consists of cities and towns.[2][3] County government was abolished in Connecticut in 1960, although the names remain for geographical purposes. Counties are, however, still used by the state to organize its judicial and state marshal system. Connecticut's court jurisdictions still adhere to the county boundaries, except for Fairfield, Hartford and New Haven, which have been further subdivided into several jurisdictions.
