On the way from Dayton, Ohio to Ft Wayne Indiana, we pass the exit to Hicksville I am not sure if it is in Ohio or Indiana but we always laugh and wonder how they came up with THAT name!!
Can you imagine saying "I am from Hicksville"?

Now, I got a lot of these off the Internet. I have not heard of all of them, but most of them I have. I think a few, like Gaybourn, Hell-fer-sartin and Cut Shin, are names of residential areas...not exactly incorporated cities. In rural Kentucky, that happens a lot. In fact, I only know Hell-fer-sartin and Cut Shin (they are very near each other) because my boyfriend is from that area!

That's right, Kentucky is pretty darn weird! I love it!

There are towns called Deposit, Moon and Crescent in New York. There are towns with some truly jawbreaker names in Wisconsin (Oconomowoc, Ashwabinon, etc.)
