I like hearing about strangely named towns, cities, places, and whatever else. Feel free to share some from your state or country, or even random ones you have heard before. Here are some from Michigan that I find unique:

Ahmeek, Aloha, Argentine, Bad Axe, Beverly Hills, Cement City, Chocolay, Christmas, Climax, Colon, Cumming, East China, Felch, Flushing, Gaastra, Germfask, Hamtramck, Hell, Kalamazoo, Kawkawlin, Mastodon, Maybee, Nottawa (guess they want people to know they're not Ottawa), Paradise, Paw Paw, Raisin, Ralph, Ypsilanti, Zilwaukee.

And some from Wisconsin:
Agenda, Ahnapee, Athelstane, Beetown, Bone Lake, Dickeyville, Embarrass, Fence, Footville, Hoard, Ixonia, Kickapoo, Packwaukee, Pound, Poy Sippi, Scandinavia, Spider Lake, Weyauwega

And that's actually what happened, no joke.

It didn't take long for the men in the lumber camps to come down with cases of venereal disease. Of course, it affected their ability to work to full capacity, therefore, the lumber camp owners banished the women from the area...with business gone, the rooming house closed up and the town didn't last much after that.

American cities:
Santa Claus, Indiana and Christmas, Florida
Pig, Raccoon and Hippo, Kentucky (I see a theme here)
Both Chicken and Beaver, Alaska
Dinosaur, Colorado
Pee Pee Township, Ohio
Noodles, Oatmeal, Scissors and Cat Spring, Texas. They need to get with it with this naming their cities.
Beaver Dam and Virgin, Utah (where else?)
Brilliant, Alabama (I sense it's not..)
Blue Ball, Delaware
Hell for Certain, Kentucky
Satan's Kingdom, Mass (um scary..)
Hell, Michigan (and Norway)
Cuckoo, Virginia
Boogertown, North Carolina and Booger Hole, West Virginia
Big Beaver, Pennsylvania (Clearly we like to name cities after beavers here in the US)
Hooker, South Dakota
Idiotville, Oregon
Fertile, Iowa (don't drink the water here!)
Imalone โ€“ Wisconsin
Alone and Friend, Michigan (maybe they should get together)
Intercourse โ€“ Pennsylvania
Gay, Georgia, Michigan and West Virginia (and Russia!)
Nameless, Tennessee
Elephant Butte, New Mexico and Elephant Head, Arizona
Alabama, New York (don't catch the wrong flight!)
Bacon, Georgia.. which is apparently near Coffee (Who wants breakfast?!)
Beaverlick and Big Bone Lick, Kentucky (Look, I just report the places, guys...)
Boring - In Maryland, Tennessee AND Oregon
Ding Dong, Texas
Happy, Texas
Trump, Ohio
Earth, Texas
Nowhere and No Name, Colorado
Stoner, Colorado


Here's a weird one too:
Halfway or Half(dot)com, Oregon
If you thought that only the domain of a website could end in .com, you are wrong. A company made a temptress offer of $100.000, computers for public schools and other financial considerations if they changed the name of the town to Half(dot)com for a year (1990)

Found this lake name in Massachusetts: Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg (really?!)



England ended up having so many that I separated them at the end so here are English towns:
England: Dorking
England: Clitheroe (I prefer to break this one up into two words for max effect)
England: Penistone (thanks @Cynic Goat )
England: Christmas Pie
England: Beer
England: Stone-cum-Ebony

England: Bell End (lol I'm adding this to my list of favourite places)
England, Bishop's Itchington
England: Puddletown
The absurd amount of names of places with cock in the title in England.. I can't even name them all: Cock Beck, Cockfosters, Cocking, Cock lakes, Cockshutt.. There are so many and I'm a 12 year old inside.
England: Fingringhoe
England: No Place
England: Sandy Balls (not a town but come on you guys!)
England: Ugley
England, England (hmm..creative)

International places:
Australia: Humpty Doo
Canada: Emo
Spain: Cuntis
Canada: Come by Chance
Germany: Amerika
Papua: Anal Island
Turkey: Batman
Greece: Drama
Tasmania: Eggs and Bacon Bay
Austria: Fucking
Iran: Shit
France: Fussy
Jamaica: Maggotty
France: Germ
France: Anus
Latvia: Ogre
Hungary: God
Belgium: Silly
Australia: Mistaken Island
Antarctica: Nipple Peak
Burkina Faso: Pissy
Nigeria, Porno
Austria: Rottenegg
Albania: Puke
Ghana: Tamale
Netherlands: Rectum
Canada: Snowflake
Ireland: Swords
Wales: Three cocks
Ireland: Tubbercurry
Columbia: Turbo


This is the longest name of a place (one word) - which is a hill in New Zealand:
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu

This is an actual town though, in North Wales: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch You can learn to say the name of the place on Youtube if you were so inclined.

And don't forget the town of Dildo in Canada, which is part of...

Trinity Bay with Dildo Island in the middle and Dildo Tip on the right

That whole sentence is just weird.

Cool idea for a topic lol! I had actually thought of posting a topic in here called The Place Game or something like that where people had to name a city or country but then I never did cos I worried no one would ever post in it.
