Funny Names of Cities and Towns

Yesterday I mentioned my discovery of a place in Canada named Lower Sackville.  The same day, someone informed me of a town named Glory Hole.  A few readers emailed or left me comments with a few more funny names.  In addition, I've done a little research.  I'm compiling a list of towns/cities/places with amusing names.

I'm hoping you can help me expand my list.

This is what I have so far:

Lower Sackville (also Upper and Middle Sackville)

Glory Hole

Bald Knob (Arkansas)

Dildo (in Newfoundland)

Surprise (Arizona)

Oral (South Dakota)

Intercourse (Pennsylvania)

Virginville (Pennsylvania)

Beaver Crossing (Nebraska)

Horneytown (North Carolina)

Fort Dick (California)

Timbuctoo (California)

Blue Ball (Delaware)

Kickapoo (Illinois)

Assawoman Bay (Maryland)

Twatt (Scotland)

Wetwang (England)

I'm sure you can help me come up with more?

Humpty Doo, Northern Territory, Australia
Bong Bong, Northern Territory, Australia
Humpybong, Queensland, Australia
Mount Buggery, Victoria, Australia
Rooty Hill, New South Wales, Australia
Pakenham Upper, Victoria, Australia

Oh Margaret you beat me to it! Pakenham upper always cracks me up when I drive through.

And the rooty hill is funny because in Australia slang "root" means "sex" - or does everyone know that and I'm just the silly American ex pat who routinely (puntastic!) says embarrassing things like "I'm rooting for Federer" and then all the aussies laugh at me?

[I'm finally delurking! Love your site!!]

There's a Cumming, Georgia and a Climax, Georgia. Swear to God. I love it when I see their official cars (like police cars) parked near each other :-)

I used to live in Cumming, GA. My first husband grew up in a very small town in Montana called Two Dot.

Oh and when we move to New Jersey ELPH would NOT live in Pittstown.

Hoohoo, West Virginia

French Lick, Indiana sounds pretty... exotic? ;)

[Jan]

I've been to French Lick, Indiana as well as Goat Lick, Montana. There's Big Lick as well as Lizard Lick, North Carolina; Beaver Lick, Kentucky; Lick Fork, Kentucky; Mud Lick, Kentucky; Paint Lick, Kentucky; Spring Lick, Kentucky (boy, those Kentuckians like to lick...); Licking, Missouri; Slate Lick, Pennsylvania and my personal favorite, Lick Skillet, Virginia.

It is so hard to comment after Jan....

Missouri is good for a bunch of knob ones.

Pilot Knob, MO; Shell Knob, MO; and my favorite, Knob Lick, MO.

But I think Jan wins.

There's always the ever popular Hell, Michigan.

[Life with Kaishon]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha : ). So funny! If I lived in Michigan I would tell people to go to Hell all the time : ) I always thought it was funny that we have a place called intercourse. Who in the world would name a town that? Darn Amish people... : )

[Joanne from Idaho]

There's a Climax and Fertile in Minnesota, only about 20 miles from each other...

[[email protected] Ecstasy]

There's also a Middlesex,PA and Bird In Hand, PA; also Amish named towns.

Utah has a town called Fillmore and down the highway town called Beaver. The sign on the side of I15 used to say:
Fillmore XXX miles
Beaver XXX miles
but the UHP took it down a few years ago as too many kids were pulling over the side of the freeway to get a pic with it.

[Christine]

Wow. Just wow.

I'll add Whiskey Dick, WA and Pussy Creek, Ohio.

[Michelle]

Here are a bunch...

There is a Toad Suck Arkansas as well. Took a picture of the road sign while visiting.

Must be a January theme. I used to live around the corner from Crotch Crescent, as I mentioned just about this time last year... http://duchessomnium.com/index.php?s=crotch+crescent

[Ginger]

Since no one else has mentioned it, I'll throw one in (wait, that sounds dirty)...

Gobbler's Knob, PA

[BarbaraB]

My father, eight years passed now, always made sure we knew about the small communities in the state we were currently living. Welcome to Two Egg.

[jookie]

theres a Beaver City Nebraska as well as a Worms Nebraska!

[Amy in StL]

Hymen, SC. The best part is that although it's still on maps; the town is no longer there. Almost like someone has already been through it.... Yeah, the joke was told every time my friend and I talked about our trip to Darlington through Hymen.
