Richmond, Virginia (at least the incorporated city, which is
where the seat of state government is located), is not in
a county.
Yes, I believe it is located in Henrico County, VA
I think it may be like Middleton, Nova Scotia (or any other Nova
Scotia town or city), where it is surrounded by the county but not a
part of it. In Nova Scotia when you are in a town or city where you
can vote for the officials of that municipality and are under the
ordinances of that jurisdiction otherwise you vote for the elected
officials of the county and are under its ordinance. When you are in
Nova Scotia you are under 3 levels of elected government - Canadian
federal, provincial and local - either city/town or county not both
whereas in New Jersey, you can be under 4 - US federal, state, county
and city/town/borough/village. If I remember correctly Virginia is
like Nova Scotia in that you are in either a municipality or they
county but not both. Interestingly, municipal headquarters for
counties in Nova Scotia in many cases are located within city or town boundaries.
