How could I have forgotten Duck, N.C.?

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

Nebraska has cities named Bee, Eagle, and Gibbon.  There's also Beaver City and Beaver Crossing.  Papillion is said to be the French word for butterfly, which explains why the high school calls itself the Monarchs.  Nebraska could also get credit for Holstein, which is also a city in Iowa.

Unincorporated but possessed of an animal name is Fly, Ohio, home of the only ferry between Ohio and W. Va. and not much else when I drove through.

Beaver UT wins.  They're the county seat for Beaver County and their HS is the Beaver Beavers.

Squirrel Hill is not a town per se, but a section of Pittsburgh.  A highway tunnel bears its name.  (Parkway East/I-376/US 22-30)

Ohio has both Beavercreek and Beaverdam.

For a fictitious example, who remembers a movie that makes a parenthetical reference to "Pig's Knuckle, AR"?
