I regard the shortest common boundary to be DE-PA. I do not take into
account broken state boundaries, like Fulton Country KY and
Tennessee. Why stop there? Why not go to southeastern VA and
northeastern NC? That dowel stick of land surely is narrower than
Fulton County, KY - TN.

Thank-you for your efforts in trying to answer my questions regarding
the shortest and longest shared state boundaries. The answers, from
my layman's POV, are nothing short of amusing. I am sorry, but I
never intended to raise a question which would lead to discussions
and squabbles over measuring molecules and such. Enough! The answer
is OK - TX!

Now let's see if there is an answer, fractal, molecular, whatever,
for the shortest <portion> of a shared state boundary. Is it NC-VA
near Mackay Island?
