Four ways of boundary changes of municipalities – annexation, division, merger and consolidation – are examined in reference to the various legal solutions adopted in the state law. In the background of present discussion is consolidation of municipalities in the European countries. The study is based on analysis of the legal provisions of the constitutions and state laws, statistical data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau and literature.
