Weird city names

Here are a few U.S. city names:

  • Pig, Kentucky
  • Louisiana has a Start, but there's no Finish
  • Poor Uranus is the only planet in the solar system without a city. I guess it sounds bad when you say "I'm from your anus..."
  • You can find a Climax in 17 states.
  • France, England, Spain, Russia, Brazil, India, China, Korea, Italy, Turkey, Lebanon, Sudan, and Egypt are all in the United States.
  • You can go to Blue, Green, Orange, Violet, Black, White, Brown, or Pink, but not Yellow or Red.
  • Illinois may have Melody, but it sure doesn't have any Rhythm.
  • There's Weather in PA, but KY has Rain, Hail, Snow, and Ice!
  • Arkansas has both Simpson and Goldman
  • Speaking of Simpson, 33 states have a Springfield
  • You think Kansas City, Missouri is confusing? Try this loop: New York, Kentucky. Kentucky, Michigan. Michigan, Vermont. Vermont, Indiana. Indiana, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, Alabama. Alabama, New York.
  • Alabama has Intercourse, but Utah has a Virgin

The complete list

There's also a Zion, Kentucky and a Mechanicsville, Virginia.


Before I die, I'm definatey going around the country and taking pictures of ALL of those town signs.

Okay, well, I live in MechanicsBURG, PA. Which there, I think are 8 of them, but we are the first and have the most history. We also have a Mechanicsville. Not a real rare name.
