I am somewhat a cliche'. I grew up running around barefoot on a farm in Kentucky.
I love writing, art, sunshine, all animals and my incredibly patient husband, who tolerates my "crazy animal lady" side.
Every state has its share of strangely named towns, and Kentucky is no different. We have some uniquely named places scattered from border to border. The Appalachians are home to some of the strangest titles, but the rest of the Bluegrass has quite a few as well. Can you think of any weird Kentucky town names? Here are 19 images of funny Kentucky town names, plus a few extra oddly named communities thrown in:
Though there are only 19 images, over 40 weird town names in Kentucky are listed in the text above. It would have been easy to keep going. Kentucky people have bestowed some very “colorful” titles to their communities over the years. Chatting with local Elders can provide a wealth of information. Some are quite open about the town name’s origins. If you live in or know of any other unique or funny town names in Kentucky I missed, please feel free to mention them in the comments. The Bluegrass State is a virtual treasure trove of oddly named places.
