Strangest City Names in North America

The Top Ten
1 Saint Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, Quebec

I went for a walk here on a Quebec trip with my school in grade 8 and we thought that the city looked amazing. It wasn’t until we found out what the name of the city was. Everybody in the bus started laughing which makes sense why they put the Ha! Ha! In the name.

The only town in the whole world that has two exclamation marks in its name. That's hilarious.

Oh yes, I love it. It's also at #1 on my list Funniest Genuine City, Town or Village Names in Canada

This sounds like someone trying to say St. Louis, but for some reason, the find it really funny

2 Boring, Oregon

There is also an unincorporated community in Tennessee named Boring. It is near the Tri-Cities Airport, which serves the Bristol area.

Gravity Falls was based on this city, ironically being the setting of one of the most interesting shows I have ever seen.

Featured in Netflix Original "Everything Sucks! "

Gravity Falls was based off this place, the irony

3 Dildo, Newfoundland

Who the heck names their town after a dirty word, anyway?

Bet a certain Casey fanboy would love to go there

Is it because of some strange etymology?

No explanation needed.

4 Accident, Maryland

I bet there are a lot of accidents there ha good one

I've never heard of this place... and I live in MD, I want to go there now.

Accidental cities? Access denied!

Oh wow! They named a city after me!

5 Hell, Michigan

I was born in Hell, I grew up in Hell, I became famous in hell, I got married in hell, I raised kids in Hell, and I will die in Hell, Michigan

Welcome to Hell! (haha, I know several songs with this title that can become theme songs for this place)

So I guess in that Megadeath song "Go to Hell" they meant here...

Person: Welcome to Hell!
Me: You really hate your hometown, huh?

6 Poop, Yucatán, Mexico

One time I found poop for a city and it was mexico

7 England, Arkansas

Shoot. I don't think America won its independence from Britain after all.

Just like England, but extremely crappy and stupid.

England is a city, team 10 is not dumb?

8 Nothing, Arizona

So what city do you come from?
Nothing.

I bet it looks like my soul...

Welcome to nothing

9 Chicken, Alaska
10 Los Banos, California

I think someone tried to create a city in southern California while trying to make the name fit in by using spanish. Unfortunately, the results turned out embarrassing. (Los Banos is spanish for The Bathrooms)

Nice try by a know-it-all 10 year old. "Los Banos" means "the Baths", and is the name given to the region by Spanish [from SPAIN] land-grant ranchers, due to the natural springs that irrigate the wetlands, making it a good place for livestock.

Hey everybody! Let's hit the bathrooms!

The Contenders
11 Ball's Falls, Ontario

I live, literally, minutes away from Ball's Falls. I never thought it's name would end up here. It's a beautiful conservation area that I visit every year in autumn.

Don't Even ask me why they call it that

12 Intercourse, Pennsylvania

The Simpsons made a reference to this.

13 Ding Dong, Texas
14 No Name, CO

Came across this city on a trip to Colorado. Couple houses, a McDonalds and a gas station

The town with no name, cool.

15 Punkeydoodles Corners, Ontario

I was born in Kitchener, Ontario, in a hospital that is no more than 15 minutes away from Punkeydoodles Corners. I've driven through it dozens of times. Half the time there are missing signs everywhere. Kids are always stealing them. Why am I closely connected to TWO places on this list? Ontario is weird, guys.

The town for clowns

16 Heart's Desire, Newfoundland and Labrador

A town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Please Drive Safely (through the Heart's Desire...)

17 Embarrass, Minnesota
18 Climax, Kentucky

Head 30 miles south and you'll find Falling point, Tennessee

19 Truth or Consequences, N.M.

Weirdest place to find Dude Love if you got to the place that inspired Courage The Cowardly Dog.

Damn, a serious town!

20 Weeki Wachee, Florida
21 Walla Walla, Washington

Now I really feel like making a parody of Witch Doctor, but it's about odd city names

22 Dogtown, Alabama
23 Why, Arizona
24 Burnt Corn, Alabama
25 Butternuts, New York
