The community of Lulu is made up of a small population that still resides in what is mostly a ghost town. The story, which is hard to verify, is that the postmaster named the town after his girlfriend because its previous name was getting confused with that of another town.

This town in Palm Beach County used to be full of tourist rentals, but the owner sold the land to the members of the community in 1958 so he could retire. If you've ever seen the movie In Her Shoes, you will recognize this town as a classic Florida retired community.
11. Dinner Island, FL

Is it called Dinner Island because of all the great fishing and hunting available? Just an idea, but it seems possible. Or, it's simply a nice charming town to swing by for a romantic dinner with that special someone.
12. Sopchoppy, FL

This city in Wakulla County started out as Lockchoppe, from the Muskogee words meaning acorn stem, but somehow became Sopchoppy, and never looked back. In 2004, the population was 465, and it's home to the annual Worm Grunting Festival.
13. Panacea, FL

14. Yeehaw Junction, FL

Yeehaw Junction is a pretty great name, but its previous name was even funnier. Town historians will tell you, this census-designated place in Osceola County used to be named Jackass Junction or Jackass Crossing for the burro-riding ranchers who would visit the Desert Inn, which was then a brothel. It was renamed when the Florida Turnpike was built through the town, and yeehaw, the Seminole word for "wolf" was chosen.
15. Christmas, FL

Christmas may be a small town, but it's home to the world's largest gator, Swampy. This huge building is part of Jungle Adventures Nature Animal Park. Other attractions include Fort Christmas Historical Park and the Fort Christmas Folk School, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching folk art.
