Centennial, the largest incorporation in American history
2001
Centennial, Colorado
Voters in unincorporated Arapahoe County agreed in September 2000 to turn about 100,000 neighbours into a city in one go, and Centennial was incorporated in February 2001. The point was to stop Greenwood Village annexing the commercial strips whose sales taxes paid for county services. The court fights that followed settled that a community's right to incorporate outranks a neighbouring city's right to annex.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
