glad you asked<br/>
<br/>
ghost is basically just a short way of saying historic or no longer extant<br/>
but i like to say it also because it brings things back to life in the<br/>
present somewhat<br/>
<br/>
the state is connecticut<br/>
<br/>
it owned & controlled nearly a third of pennsylvania til 1786<br/>
  aka  west more land  county<br/>
& perhaps a tenth of ohio til 1800<br/>
  aka  the western reserve<br/>
both discontiguous with each other & the mother state<br/>
<br/>
similarly<br/>
all of maine was an exclave of massachusetts til 1819<br/>
a special problem because the exclave was 4 times as large as the ma<br/>
<br/>
better yet but different<br/>
bermuda was an exclave of virginia til 1624<br/>
when virginia legally extended from bermuda westward to cape mendocino on<br/>
the pacific<br/>
<br/>
but those 3 or 4 in all are the only ghost exclaves of the individual<br/>
united states i am aware of<br/>
<br/>
