It is best known for having "seceded" from the United States in 1977 and establishing the "Republic of Kinney". Originally a publicity stunt to draw attention to underfunding of municipal projects in the area, the "Republic of Kinney" remained a part of the civic identity of Kinney for decades afterwards.
