The classy, highest scale county in Kansas climbing the top 25 Richest Counties in the country and home to the 4th richest city as judged by the US Census Bureau. Commonly refered to as the OC of the midwest. Otherwise known as the county to get to for selling Girl Scout cookies, candy bars or go trick-or-treating on Halloween. Aside from it's richest reigning in cities like Overland Park, Lenexa or Shawnee Mission. Johnson County also holds a few ordinary middle class burbs such as Roeland Park, Olathe and Desoto.
Sam and Meghann are so lucky to live in Johnson County Kansas. They must've gotten rich after graduation. I mean I don't know which is worse, Sheena and Sal living in Jackson County or us just moving to Wyandotte aka the DOTT!

A county in Kansas where wanna-be's who have no other claim to fame try to impress others by saying, "I'm from Johnson County". Makes no difference whatsoever that the person may be poor as crap or redneck as anything, they think that being from JOCO is the be-all-end-all. Maybe one day they will realize they are still from KANSAS!!!
I'm uneducated, don't have a pot to pee in, but I'm from Johnson County Kansas. Be impressed.
I live in Johnson County Kansas. I am a loser and have to tell people where I live in hopes of impressing them.

A nickname for Iowa City, Iowa. Used derisively by some and proudly by others, the nickname refers to the liberal political philosophy of Johnson County, especially in contrast to the surrounding counties and state. Johnson County elects Democratic and/or Liberal candidates in rates uncharacteristic of the state of Iowa. The creation of this liberal enclave probably came about because of the University of Iowa.
As many students of the University will agree, the liberal nature of the area is also probably accounted for by the large number of Chicago area natives who have moved to the area. Many Iowans living in Johnson County and/or attending the university keep their conservative views.
This nickname is thought to be derived from the writings of a conservative reporter in Des Moines, Iowa.

The political views expressed in the People's Republic of Johnson County are typical of the kind expressed in scholarly, educated areas. The reason it is noteworthy in Iowa City is because the surrounding area is very conservative and rural.
