"In 1952, the remaining 71 sq mi (184 sq km) of Warwick County became an independent city. On July 1, 1958, after approval of voters in both jurisdictions, the City of Warwick was consolidated with the independent city of Newport News, reuniting the two communities legally and assuming the latter's name. The union formed the third largest city in Virginia at the time with a 65 square mile area."

The numbers don't really add up, do they? How could Newport News incorporate 71 sq miles of Warwick and then be only 65 square miles?

Does anybody know the boundaries of the City of Warwick?
