Interesting how there are far fewer Dem streaks than Rep streaks as the latter has many rural counties outside the South. Here are the longest Dem streaks:
Brooks, TX (Since 1908, i.e. every time since the county was founded in 1911)
Northampton, NC (Never R in Atlas history which dates to 1924)
Costilla, CO; Suffolk, MA; Ramsey, MN; St. Louis City, MO; Deer Lodge, MT; Bronx, NY; Kings, NY; New York, NY (since 1924)
Duval, TX, Jim Hogg, TX, Maverick, TX, Starr, TX, Webb, TX, Zapata, TX (never R in consecutive Atlas history which dates to 1940, though Webb and Zapata voted R in 1912)
All are Northern urban or majority-minority except for Deer Lodge, MT.
