The US mostly uses county for subdivisions of a state. Each individual state is welcome to call its provinces as it likes. Alaska decided to call em boroughs. Some cities decided they liked the word too. No real regulation for it though. [here’s the wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borough_(United_States)) I found with 30 seconds of googlefoo.
