For New York it's hard to beat Coxsackie as funniest town name.

Nyack was funny until we were told it's "NY-ack", not "nack nack nack"

My personal favorite for Iowa is Balltown.

What makes it even better is that it's only 14 miles away from Dickeyville, WI.

In Colorado, it's gotta be No Name. I think the name was initially established as a placeholder and it stuck. CODOT even signs it on I-70. I learned about this place in Spring of 2021 when I saw the signage and thought it was a misprint. Hygiene is also up there.

I would say Pewee Valley for Kentucky
My dad actually knew someone that had moved there several years ago that he went to school with. They had moved to Nashville, Tennessee after that but strange that my dad hasn't heard from them in years but as soon as I saw it I was like I know where Pewee Valley is.
I think Kentuckians are a little numb to how simple some of the place names sound.

I mean, just along KY 122 and every holler in Eastern KY has all sorts of places like this:

Hi Hat
Drift
Bypro
"Up Skull" (as in "You go up Skull")
Upper and Lower Burton
Minnie

Etc., etc.
Yeah then in the same region of the state they have a towns called Topmost, Wheelwright, Weeksbury, Kite, Wayland, Soft Shell and several others but I know some of them off the top of my head.

Not far from Soft Shell is Hardshell.

Also in that area: Mousie, Rowdy, Fisty (pronounced "feisty"), Krypton, and Busy.

Two places not too far from each other are Jeff and Gordon.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.
