• Why Hawaii Has Only Five Counties (worldatlas.com) — Lanai belongs to Maui County under a system that leaves Hawaii with just five counties and no separate incorporated towns. That arrangement traces to territorial legislation in 1905 and the islands’ geography. Four functioning county governments handle services that independent cities often provide elsewhere, while Kalawao has a special state-administered structure.
