Metairie, the city that never voted itself into existence

Metairie, Louisiana

Metairie has about 143,500 residents and has never incorporated. It is the fifth largest census designated place in the United States, and would rank as Louisiana's fourth largest city if it ever became one. Instead it has no mayor and no council of its own, and Jefferson Parish governs it directly.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
