25 of the Strangest Town Names

If the city you grew up in had a normal, boring, run-of-the-mill name, consider yourself lucky. Imagine trying to apply for a job and having to write Monkeys Eyebrow on all your applications. Or how about Not, Missouri – “Where do you live? Not, Missouri. Okay, then where?” While it seems like some of these names were deliberately chosen to embarrass or frustrate the offspring of the founders, others like Fail, Portugal are just amusing to English speaking tourists. Whatever the case may be we bring you 25 of the strangest town names we could find.

    Those who remember the old TV show Columbo, starring Peter Falk, will enjoy this story.

    About twenty years ago, the producers of the TV show Columbo approached the town of Athol, Massachusetts about shooting an episode in the community.

    The Board of Selectmen had to vote on issuing the TV production crew a film permit. The Board denied the permit.
    Their reason: They didn’t want a Falk in Athol!
