By contrast, the Cincinnati Public School District extends randomly
outside the city limits of Cincinnati:
This stuff varies quite a bit from state-to-state. I have no idea what the laws are in Indiana.
The two islands inside the Cincinnati city limits are not Beverly Hills-type enclaves. They are all factory working class areas that the City of Cincinnati didn't get around to annexing before the state law changed in the 1920s and Cincinnati became landlocked by surrounding (and interior!) incorporated areas. Obviously, Columbus went on a postwar annexation spree, but that was of unincorporated territory.
