It may be smaller than some US counties, but no one thinks of the
(clearly misnamed) New Hampshire as a county.

Indeed, California has counties into which one could fit several New
England states. The state name 'New Hampshire' has always irritated
me. I have no idea how said nomenclenture happened.

Some settler a few hundred years ago thought it reminded them of
hampshire. Fairly simple.

Wasn't it the Mayflower mob who left from (old) Hampshire?
