A tall man, Wallace earned the nickname and gave it to the town where he eventually settled after participating in several violent campaigns against Mexicans and Native Americans. Rather, you'll find plenty of commemorations to a Texas ranger named William Alexander Anderson "Bigfoot" Wallace. Sadly, you won't find Bigfoot in this Texan town, despite what its name may have you believe.
But if you’re looking for a silly photo-op, it may still be worth hitting up this town within a half hour’s drive of Asheville, N.C. Public hiking has been discontinued on the property in an effort to prevent the spread of white nose syndrome in the bats. And it’s not just any cave - it’s North America’s largest known granite fissure cave, protected by The Nature Conservancy. Sounds like a place for Batman and Robin to hang out, but in reality, this unincorporated community in Western North Carolina got its name from the variety of bats that make their home in a cave on Bluerock Mountain. The unincorporated community is near Roanoke and has its own Bacon Level Baptist Church. How the name of Bacon Level came about is uncertain, but we'd like to assume that it was literal and that the towns people simply loved high levels of bacon. Let's be honest, if there was one state where we would expect a town to have this name it would be Alabama. What we will make up, however, is that the population of 15 is obsessed with the Disney classic (and the Will Smith version). Is that not how the lyrics went? There is no known reason for a former mining town in Wyoming to be named Aladdin and yet, thankfully, we're not making this up.
"Come on down stop on by, hop a carpet and fly, to another Wyoming night." You wouldn't want to risk suffering a freak accident while in Accident and then having to deal with your friends making that joke for the rest of your life. Still, if you're superstitious, stay far away. Rumor has it that this Maryland town got its name because a land speculator marked it off by accident. where people get laughs and maybe even some odd looks when they tell others where they live? We’ve scoured the country to find the wackiest, zaniest, funniest town names in America. There's also Ding Dong, Texas, and Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky. You’ve surely heard the phrase, “When Hell freezes over.” Well, that’s not such a far-fetched proposition if you’re from the town in Michigan actually named Hell.Īnd that's not much better than Bitter End, Tennessee, or Hurt, Virginia, whose names make most people want to avoid them. Booger Hole? Ding Dong? Hot Coffee? In America, you can visit them all.
