My favorite line out of the original post is:

Little Looneyville was named for storekeeper John Looney in the early 1870s. But who gives a ****.

Thats absolutely hilarious. Along with "Titty-Ho" wherever.

oh Michelle:

There's a town in Kentucky called Monkey's Eyebrow...it's somewhere on the west side of the state

some examples from CA:

The weirdness really began to show itself in that epoch that has left its enduring mark on California culture: the Gold Rush.

Hordes of men hungry for gold descended on the sleepy Hispanic region beginning in the late 1840s. After braving considerable dangers by land and sea, they threw California into a cultural maelstrom. The population expansion was astounding. San Francisco, for instance, went from a small 500 inhabitants in 1848 to 40,000 in 1850. The rapid increase of a population gathered pell-mell into the Bay city led to a rapid increase in saloons, brothels, and crime. The last could only be put down by vigilante action. The former --- well, wasn't assailed with the same zeal.

San Francisco’s experience was repeated in hundreds of small towns (with names such as Murderer’s Gulch, Delirium Tremens (YEAH!), Whiskey Diggings, Hangtown, and You Bet) that mushroomed across what in only two years after the discovery of gold became the sovereign state of California. The combined effect of avarice and readily available, bought sex had macerating effects on morality. As one commentator of the period said, in California, “human character crumbled and vanished like dead leaves.”

you know, now that I think about it, I should have mentioned these from my part of the state: Whiskey Flats, Toadtown, Paradise, Dogtown, and Humbug....those miners sure had colorful names for places!

I live a few miles away from a town called Dickinson. And I used to think that was really weird.
