Another county name change (sort of)

I know Alaska doesn't really have counties, but this seems to qualify for anyone who keeps track of this sort of thing.

Wade Hampton Census Area in Alaska is generally regarded as a county equivalent, like other such remote areas in the 49th state. The name, however, was considered problematic by locals, for it honored Wade Hampton III, a slave-owning Confederate general and politician who never even visited the region. The area was named for Hampton in 1913 with no input from locals.

Now Gov. Bill Walker has approved a name change to Kusilvak Census Area - named for a local mountain range.

Hampton was notorious for becoming Governor of South Carolina in a campaign marked by violent suppression against African-American voters. The 1876 campaign is believed to be the most violent in the state's history.

Will this be part of a nationwide wave of county name changes? I would doubt it, since county names in other states that have an unfortunate association like this are usually governed by much different political interests. The Tea Party owns many rural counties outright, and the Tea Party doesn't have a great record on voting rights or race - so I'd be surprised if the Tea Party changed a county name that honored someone who benefited from a racially motivated vote suppression campaign.
