Darke County, Ohio, is one of the few counties in the United States to border as many as 8 counties. Ohio has another such county: Stark County (whose neighboring counties are all within Ohio). If not for a narrow slip of Mercer County that reaches to Shelby County that also separates Darke County from Auglaize County, Darke County would border 9 counties, which would make it part of an even rarer class of counties.
