I've actually been here, to the Town of North Pole #Alaska!
Given its name by a development company hoping to attract a toy manufacturer that could advertise products as being made in North Pole.
Didnt happen, but the Name Stuck!

I wonder how the postmaster in Santa Claus, #Indiana is dealing with the surge!
The town originally wanted to call itself Santa Fe, but then they realized that this name was taken, so they decided to go for the closest alternative - and that was Santa Claus!

What better town name to talk about after #Thanksgiving. . . . than Sandwich, #Illinois!
It's known for its giant #sandwich festival and has links to John Montague, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich and the inventor of the sandwich.

Why does the town of #Neversink, #NewYork have so many stories about Floods?🤣
The town is actually 175ft below water level and was founded when the Neversink River flooded surrounding towns and forced people to flee their homes.

We've been talking about Town Names every monday... and while not strange, today we must mention
BEDFORD, Virginia
During WW2, they lost in one week 23 of their 35 soldiers. It was the highest per capita loss for any U.S. community.

If you dont want to go in straight lines, you can go to Zigzag, #Oregon - and check out the #Zigzag #glacier, check out the Zigzag river, and climb the Zigzag mountain!

Difficult, #Tennessee
Not the best name for a town - #Legend has it that this small town got its name when the #postal service told locals that their original name was too #difficult to write and mail things to 🤣

um...👀Hmmmm..... Road Trip?
This isnt a "Town" ... but the Glory Hole Recreation Area is located just outside the city of Angels Camp, 77 miles southeast of Sacramento and is known for being the former stomping ground of famous writer Mark Twain.

Tightwad, #Missouri Named after an interaction between a postmaster and a farmer - the farmer promised him a melon but then sold it to another person before he could fulfill the deal. The postmaster was so irritated by this that he renamed the town #Tightwad

Unalaska, #Alaska
When Russians made their way to the largest of the Aleutian Islands many years ago, they translated the real town name of Agunalaksh to Unalaska. And since then, it seems to have stuck.

So....#Knockemstiff, #Ohio..
um...I gotz nuthin! Neither do the folks there...The legend surrounding this name is somewhat of an enigma, after all. But many of the working theories revolve around adulterers and locals who used to drink way too much moonshine.

#Chugwater, #Wyoming actually has nothing to do with drinking water, but with how the #Mandan tribe would hunt #buffalo... by leading them off a cliff into the water below!

Not the town the Dukes lived in, Hazardville, #Connecticut was named after Colonel Augustus George Hazard, who bought the town in 1837, and they were known in the 19th century for making huge amounts of gunpowder....Sounds Hazzardous!

No unspeakable actions done unto flowers here in #Washington.... #Humptulips is a #Salish word, used by the #Chehalis Tribe a few thousands years ago. The word and name means “Hard to Pole” referring to the difficulty in traveling the river by boat.

Well, it seems that #Pennsylvania has 2 Blue Ball signs, but actually only 1 #BlueBall town
In 1766, Irishman John Wallace built an inn at the crossroads of two Native American trails, (now Rt 23 amd Rt 322). instead of a sign, he hung a Blue Ball out front.
