The Most Unique Town Names in All 50 States
The reason state pride in so important in the United States is because all 50 are so unique - including the names they give their towns. But what is similar about each state is that every single one chose at least a few totally wacky and off-the-wall names that we can't believe are real, including Coupon, Worms and Ding Dong. Like we said, odd.
Our friends at Estately took the time to gather some of the more, erm, interesting ones.
But those aren't the only unique names in the country. Below are some of our very favorite town names in each and every state that we'll never forget.
Editor's note: In all fairness, many of these towns may have a Native American (or indigenous) origin, which we fully appreciate and respect.
