 :Population numbers have been fixed. Lead and portion of History section revised. Demographics section significantly updated accordingly. I'm not going to weigh in on the debate about what a ""deed"" says as the deed template may have never been updated to reflect the amalgamation of the three counties. I also am reluctant to agree in full that it is incorrect to refer to this area as a ""county"". The municipality's own website currently states at the top of its landing page ""Note that the County Administration Office will be closed..."" and its contact page states ""Please use the following directory to connect to SDG County staff..."". It is reasonable to assume from this that the municipality views itself as one county that comprises three united (or former) counties. Thus, I would suggest not fretting about this. Cheers,   "
