New Stake Created in Kentucky
Missionaries report that a new stake was created in Kentucky in the past week. The new stake was likely created from a division of the Louisville Kentucky and New Albany Indiana Stakes and appears to have its headquarters in Crestwood, Kentucky. I will provide more information once it becomes available.

Louisville Ky Stake was one of the 3 largest US stakes (each with 16 congregations), and with a neighboring stake of 12 units was certainly ready for division. The other 2 largest are Pasco, WA and Kearney, NE. Some of the fast-growing suburban Utah stakes have reached 17 units before division in recent years but I think there are no more stakes of that size now.
Some stakes have fewer units but much larger population, I'm sure. I'm curious if anyone knows of any non-US stakes with 16 or more units. Also, does anyone know how many US and Canadian stakes there are wih 15 wards and branches?
My stake (Wilmington Delaware) currently has ten wards and five branches.
My Stake, The Cambridge, Massachusetts Stake has 15 units(12 wards, 3 branches) with my branch approved for a chapel/ward in the coming 1-3years. Boston Stake has like 13 units
The following 17 U.S. stakes have 15 or more units:
Pasco Washington Stake: 12 wards, 5 branches (including 1 correctional facility branch)
Keizer Oregon Stake: 12 wards, 4 branches (including 2 correctional facility branches)
Kearny Nebraska Stake: 8 wards, 8 branches
Santa Clara Utah Stake: 15 wards, 0 branches
Richardson Texas Stake: 14 wards,
1 branch
Lehi Utah North Stake: 14 wards, 1 branch
Prescott Arizona Stake: 13 wards, 2 branches
Flagstaff Arizona Stake: 12 wards, 3 branches
Preston Idaho North Stake: 12 wards, 3 branches
Cambridge Massachusetts Stake: 12 wards, 3 branches
Wilmington Delaware Stake: 10 wards, 5 branches
St George Utah Pine View Stake: 10 wards, 5 branches
Gillette Wyoming Stake: 10 wards, 5 branches
Killeen Texas Stake: 9 wards, 6 branches (including 1 correctional facility branch)
North Little Rock Texas Stake: 8 wards, 7 branches

According to the LDS Church News, the Crestwood Kentucky Stake includes the Bardstown, Lebanon, Louisville 7th and Shawnee Branches as well as the Crestwood 1st, Crestwood 2nd, La Grange, Louisville 1st and Shelbyville wards.
To Gnesileah:
Thanks for that information. These are some of the stakes most likely to be divided in the near future.
