35 Strangest American City Names

That is why I cannot resent the Americans spending their life in urban areas, disregarding the fact that they have very stupid notations. So all I will do is list some of my favourites here. According to municipal legislation, all 1,603 residents of this Texas municipality are required to have a crown of fur on their forehead, regardless of their sex or level of affection for Zooey Deschanel.

Realism: This city was renamed after Samuel Bangs, a printers during the Texas Revolution, who was honored with the country that later got his name. This city was established by junk foodsists who somehow succeeded in replacing all of nature's wells with coke wells, Pepsi Falls and Mountain View pools.

Realism: Its name comes from the many carbonic sources of the city. Though the origins of the name of this city remain a mystery, my instincts tell me that you don't want to gamble against its people ("Bluffers", I assume?). Ralph Edwards, the NBC radio presenter, asked the US towns to change their names after his novel.

That means that any US person could awaken in the morning and be a member of Game of Thrones or The Big Bang Theory. Have a good night, America. It'?s a tedious reality: This city was renamed after Col. Francis Fries, a spinner of wool who plays a pivotal part in the foundation of the city. Formerly known as Artesia, the city was renamed in 1966 to take advantage of its close vicinity to the National Dinosaur Monument.

Ready to walk all the way, they also rebranded many roads into things like Tyrannosaurus Trail or Antrodemus Alley. Imp saturated with a sense of nationistic boast, the Patriot people of this ancient capital vowed to use only US silverware and immediately proclaimed IKEA' s immediate victory. A less thrilling reality: The name of the old part of the country is based on the name of the river AFT.

Realism: The Concrete Group was formed in 1909 from the fusion of two cities, Baker and Cement City, both near the Washington Portland Cement Company. Realism (sigh): This city is called after an early inhabitant, Colonel John R. Hurt. I had really hoped that Cut and Shoot would be called after a prestigious movie academy that trains the best writers and cameramen in the state.

Realism: Much more predictable, Texas likes its arms and the name' s origins are a little more verbatim than I had imagined. Theorizing that the people of this Texas city don't close their front door, refuse arms and make Alanis Morissette their Honorable Masters. The city was called after the Canadian River, a creek of the Arkansas River.

Rumors say you have to master the arts of judging for free and saying you heard a band before they became known. Formerly known as Midway, the name of the Midway was changed in 1950 because of its close vicinity to the Idaho National Laboratory. It is disappointing that transgressing the boundaries of the cities does not bring any additional eye or superpowers.

Honestly: Okay is called after OK Truck Manufacturing Company. People in this city in the south refuse to reveal the origins of their name, although they remain assured that they have nothing to worry about. The Three Way was called after the division of the U.S. Route 45, which was obviously my first and only assumption about its name.

All in this little place is emotionally and excessively dramatically like a Christina Aguilera album. Theoretically, there are no homes in Winnebago, only camper, and the whole of Winnebago can conquer the geographical situation and move around like the islands of Louis. Realism: Winnebago is the name of the campervan manufacturer and the name of the municipality.

It is a perfect description of where I am in every important business and takes its name from the fact that it was on the Texas-Louisiana frontier and it was not clear which state it was in at first. It' so small that there's not even any headline information, but no mater where the name comes from, "Last Chance, Iowa" is like a heart-rending This American Life film.

This may be a memory of how our life continues at an incredible speed - or perhaps a tribute to Jan de Bont's 1994 masterly performance of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock - but no, Speed was actually called after the city physician Eugene Travis Speed Sr., who unfortunately was not an active part of the film.

Initially this was called the "hen". Founded in 1883, the residents ruled that the name was no longer appropriate and changed the city's name to its literal form. It is officially said to be a Panamanian name after a Panamanian metropolis, but the fact that Michigan is home to places like Brownity, the River Flush and the Colony suggests a terrible one.

No one knows exactly where the name of this town comes from, but I know where I'm going to throw a 20-year jubilee celebration of the Legal Blond.

Threlkeld, the name of the city, was given to the man in charge of the manor, John "Hooker" Threlkeld, and whenever its residents are remembered of another probable combination of words, they answer: Although the first thing that comes to mind will be a man-made agent executed by the Catholics, this city was actually called after former inhabitant and landlord John Popejoy.
