Unusual City names

[tamias6]

Ever heard of Killen, AL, Unaklaska, AK or how about Gassville, AR? There's plenty more unusual city names on this bizzar webpage I found.

Guru's list of Unusual city names.

Enjoy.

There are some funny ones on there.

I can't believe Chevy Chase, Maryland didn't make the list...

[snoogit]

Whats so odd about the name Battle Creek? or Fruitport?

And the omission of Cheboygan is just unacceptable

Corpse Pond, Raisin Center

hahaha. Who names these placecs?

[Phizzy]

The problem with a lot of these unusual names is that they are not really places. These places should be an incorporated city/village, or a township, or, at the very least, a postal location. A bunch on Michigan's list are none of those, including the following.

Cumber

Dick

Ivanhoe

Linkville

Nirvana

Olive Center

Peatville

Pine Stump Junction

Pinnebog

Popple

Raisin Center

Redman

Slapneck

I think I'll name the area south of Coopersville (the landfill) "Trash Heaven" and add that to the list.

Actually I recall there being a "West Olive" I believe on the road from Byron Center to Holland. I used to travel that route every weekend. It's a pretty small village, something you could sneeze and miss.. probably not even incorporated. Considering there is a West Olive, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an Olive Center around there, too.

Kinda like Hopkinsburg. A lot of people know about Hopkins, although it's a pretty small village.. yet just east of Hopkins there's an even smaller area (I think it's about 3 houses and that's it) called Hopkinsburg.

West Olive is near the lakeshore, between Grand Haven and Holland.

Maybe it was this so-called Olive Center that was along the road then, I'm pretty sure there was something olive-related along the road. Or maybe I'm just confusing things.

i dont know about most of those places, but ill contest to pinnebog being on that list, its not even a real town.

[Snowguy716]

I've been to both fudgeing, Austria and Rottenegg, Austria... you can imagine how many street signs get stolen.

That would be F U C K I N G, Austria

It's not a swear word if it's a town name.

[dtown]

hahahaha, i wonder what that means in Austrian(or what ever language they speak in austria, im not sure, maybe german.)

[ZachariahDaMan]

^Yep, that'd be German
