List Of Enclaves In Pennsylvania
In political geography, an ''enclave'' is a piece of land ''entirely'' surrounded by the territory of another equivalent-level entity (and only that entity). An ''exclave'' is a piece of land that is ''politically'' connected to a larger piece but not physically conterminous with it because the territory of other equivalent-level entity or entities ''entirely'' surround it. Many entities are both enclaves and exclaves. In Pennsylvania, every county in the state, other than the counties of Fulton, Philadelphia, Pike and Union, contains at least one municipality surrounded completely by another municipality. While Pennsylvania's urban counties contain few enclaves due to municipal fragmentation, rural areas feature numerous enclaved municipalities. Many resulted from small town centers separating from their rural surrounding areas. There are at least 338 enclaves (that are not exclaves) in Pennsylvania comprising incorporated places and census-designated places (CDP) within ot ...

The primary concerns of the subdiscipline can be summarized as the inter-relationships between people, state, and territory. History The origins of political geography lie in the origins of human geography itself, and the early practitioners were concerned mainly with the military and political consequences of the relationships between physical geography, state territories, and state power. In particular there was a close association with both regional geography, with its focus on the unique characteristics of regions, and environmental determin ...
