I used to live in Paint Lick, KY. I was disappointed to see it didn't make it. Chicken, Alaska is pretty weird, too.

Rough and Ready, California

Well, truth be told it's the Republic of Rough and Ready. They seceeded from the United States back in 1850 for three months.

There's always these classics:

Boring, Oregon
Peculiar, Missouri

And my favorite

West Ely, Missouri

Not because the name is unusual, but because it is 5 miles east of Ely, Missouri.....

Coalinga, CA. People say it with a Spanish accent ("co-a-LING-a") but it was actually named after a train station where the old steam trains could pick up more fuel: Coaling Station A. The "Station" was dropped from the name and it became Coalinga.

Tarzana, CA. Named after the fictional character Tarzan.

And don't forget Western PA, where we have not one but TWO towns called "Oklahoma," about 80 miles from one another.

Not to mention a town called Eighty Four.

I always thought "Montezuma, Iowa" was funny, since the exit from route 80 is also the exit for Tama, Iowa. So if you're bored (as you no doubt will be, driving on I-80) you can start imagining a person named Tama Montezuma.

Has anyone mentioned Cut And Shoot, Texas yet?
