These are actual names of towns in the US. I am dead serious! Check out the site for more details on the reasoning behind their names. My personal favourite is this one:
Why, Arizona, USA
Bigfoot, Texas
Why, Arizona, USA
Why would they name this town Why? Why is the ocean blue? Why is the Earth round?
So many questions…
… so little time.
This town was named for a Y-shaped intersection of state Highways 85 and 86.
The spelling was changed from “Y” to “Why” after the residents had petitioned for a post office. The state required that the name be spelled differently.
Here are some of the other ones...Bigfoot, Texas
