Let’s face it — some town names in Indiana are pretty funny. From the odd and exotic town names, like French Lick, Kokomo, and Peru, to hard to pronounce town names (here’s looking at you Versailles), there are some pretty interesting places in the Hoosier state. These 8 towns have some of the silliest names in the state but are well worth a visit.
With arguably the most unusual name in the state, Gnaw Bone is a fascinating place to visit. It's located in scenic Brown County and is also home to Gnaw Mart, the legendary tiny food mart that's home to one of the best tenderloin sandwiches in Indiana.
Named after Colonel Davis Floyd, this unusually named town is full of great restaurants like the Italian establishment, Amore, the burger and ice cream join, Chillburger, and the best place in town for pizza, Ami's. There are also plenty of parks and rural areas worth exploring.
