These Are the Most Oddly-Named Towns in Each U.S. State

Americans use various methods to name their towns. Some chose to name it after a place they previously lived, some name it after a local geographical feature, and some take the bold step of naming it something so bizarre that it ensures their town sign will get stolen for generations to come.

Here at Estately, we wanted to pay homage to America’s most unusually named cities, towns, and unincorporated communities, so we scoured dozens of maps to locate the strangest of them all. Who knows, it might just help home buyers find the right place to call home. So if you find yourself looking for a house in Pie Town or Chili, or maybe a condo in Accident or Boring, you’ll be well served to entrust your real estate search to Estately. Check out our complete list below to find the most unusually-named towns in each U.S. state.
