In the U.S. states of Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia, an independent city is a city that is not part of any county, either because the city has merged with a county that has consequently been abolished or because the city has seceded from its county. The independent cities are Baltimore, Carson City, St. Louis, and every incorporated city in Virginia.
Washington, D.C., can also be considered an independent city, as county governments in the District of Columbia have been abolished.
