they are divided into counties/cities.
Municipal (city) governments are most common, as there are more cities than counties, more counties than states, and more states than the one federal government.
Most states are divided into counties that are overseen by county commissioners. One state, Louisiana, is divided into parishes which operate in essentially the same way as counties.

In most states, a sheriff is the senior law enforcement official for a county, not a township. Some states, such as Virginia, have city sheriffs (because cities in Virginia, by definition, do not lie within counties), and Louisiana has parish sheriffs, a parish in Louisiana being the equivalent of a county elsewhere. Alaska has no sheriffs because Alaska has no counties.
