FUNNY & UNIQUE TOWN NAMES IN THE U.S.


Welcome to the Bigroads.com guide to funny and unique town, city, and village names in the United States!

Author/Contributor: Greg Parsons

One of the many pleasures of taking a road trip in the United States is stumbling across odd, offbeat, or sometimes even outrageous town, city, or village names. There are hundreds of such places in the country, and I've attempted to make a complete list below. I hope you enjoy this list, and I encourage you to spin through some of these places on your next road trip adventure, perhaps even stopping to take a photo of (or with) their welcome sign. Take note that the level at which you enjoy this list may heavily depend upon your maturity level!

If you know of any other town, city, or village names that are worthy of inclusion on this list, please send me an email. I am also looking to add more photographs to this page, and so if you have any photos of signs from these places that you'd like to share, that would be great.
