Funny, odd, weird town/city names?

We're pretty boring here in Connecticut. We do have Giants Neck and Mianus, CT, although the latter is not pronounced the way you might think. I do occasionally talk online about how my son's teacher lives in Scotland. It's one town over....

There's a town somewhere, I'm thinking it's in one of the Carolinas and I'm just too lazy to look it up right now...Frogknot.

Only reason I know the town exists is because I met a woman who passed through Frogknot, liked the name so much, that she named her dog Frogknot.

i would love to know the history on some of these names, especially the booger towns. We have a community called Possum Trot not far from here. i think all southern states have a community called booger holler or something like that and it probably came from a hunting trip most likely a coon hunting trip cause boogers come out at night when coon hunting goes on. us southerners believe in them boogers, spooks and haints.
