Funny, odd, weird town/city names?

[noobiechickenlady]

Know any?
In Mississippi, we have a Booger Den, Hot Coffee, West, Possum Neck (West is east of Possum Neck), Panther Burn, Tchula (chew-la)Coila (sounds like the "bear" from Australia) Askew, Money (almost dead broke town), Chicken Bone.

There's a Toadsuck, Ar. and I saw Yazoo City, Miss. on the map.

I like "Booger Den", that's cool!

Having grown up in PA, the ones that come immediately to mind are the classic Pennsylvania town names, Intercourse and Bird-in-hand.

Along the lines of your West Possum Neck (but without the charming imagery ), in NJ there is New Brunswick, east of which is South Brunswick, while south of New Brunswick is East Brunswick.

TX has many weird town names: Krum, TX; Drop, TX; Paris, TX; Dime Box, TX; Shiner, TX, to name a few.

The funny one here is "Purdy, WA". (It sounds like it should be in TX.)


"Booger Den"

Ya'll don't go 'round Booger Den after dark. Sumpin'll git you!
It's really a community, not a township.
I guess Yazoo didn't really strike me as weird, although there is a fictional, spooky ghost tale about the town.

These are some good ones. I saw Purdy over on the Texas thread and it make me think of this.
Toadsuck is my favorite so far

I went through a town in 97 named Booger hollow - so dang cute I had to take a picture next to the sign! I think it was in Arkansas.

There is a little town called Sekiu in Washington. I just thought it was a weird name. Not sure what it means. I can't think of any other odd ones off the top of my head.

Purdy is where they have the correction center for women.

Here in Oregon we have a Boring (it is) and a Nimrod (mostly they are). Another one I like is Drain, but mainly because it floods a lot.

I hear those women can be purdy mean.

How do you pronounce "Sekiu"?

I love "Toadsuck" too.

ETA: What is up with naming towns Booger?
