All local subdivisions of the State are parishes.
The only US state that uses parishes as a governmental subdivision is Louisiana. All other states call them counties. There are parishes, in the sense of local regions of the Roman Catholic Church, in Florida, though.
There are NO counties at all in Louisiana because its governing trends were established upon the French Provincial system using "parishes" as the defining term for their geopolitical divisions. There are 64 parishes in Louisiana.
Generally speaking, a parish is a group of members of a specific church. In the USA all its States have churches and thus parishes. States also have other terms to identify themselves. They may not use the term "parish" but it's clear that members of Islamic and Jewish peoples, to give a better perspective on this, have members who gather to worship at temples and synagogues. All US States have parishes for the major religions in the USA.

in a weak mayor system, who holds the executive power?
In the United States, forty-eight of the fifty states are divided into counties. Louisiana is divided into sixty-four parishes, which function much the same as counties in other states. Alaska is divided into boroughs, which function as the local government entity in Alaska, though services that are typically provided by counties or parishes in other states, might be provided by the State of Alaska rather than the borough. In fact, more than half of the geographical area of Alaska has no separate borough, and is considered the Unorganized Borough. In the Unorganized Borough, the State of Alaska provides all services, even the ones that would be provided by a borough, when such exists elsewhere in Alaska. So clearly, a county is not the same thing as a state, since where counties do exist, a state is made up of counties.

The Emancipation Proclamation freed all American slaves except those in (1) Maryland, Delaware, Missouri , Tennessee, and Kentucky; (2) the counties of Virginia that shortly thereafter became the State of West Virginia; (3) seven other specifically-named counties of Virginia; and (4) New Orleans and 13 specifically-named nearby Louisiana parishes. These exceptions represented states and counties/parishes that were already substantially under Union control on January 1, 1863, the effective date of the Proclamation. By its terms, the Proclamation did not apply to slaves in those areas. Those slaves were freed, not by ratification of the Emancipation Proclamation, but by the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery throughout the United States.
All 50 since they are part of the United States and not separate counties.
