Geography rule
City names do not erase county boundaries
Fairmont is the Martin County seat. Ormsby extends into Watonwan County, so an Ormsby relationship is not automatically treated as wholly Martin County. East Chain is an important unincorporated community, not one of the ten incorporated cities counted here.
