If you ever wished to travel across the United States of America, you probably have a good idea of what places you'd visit. While most would aim for capital cities and urban giants like the Big Apple New York or Los Angeles with Hollywood Boulevard and Santa Monica Beach, there are some lesser known, but interesting places to add into your list. If you ever had a calling for strange names, then the USA definitely has a handful to offer. In fact, it seems like each of the 50 states has at least one queer location to offer. From Indiana's Santa Claus to Maryland's Accident, this list showcases some of the strangest names that places could have, all in America! So scroll down and check them out yourself, and don't forget to comment and vote on your favorites!

There is also a town called Truth or Consequences (T or C for short) which was named after the same game styled TV show back in the day (Google it)

Appears to be surrounded by desert. Chugging & stocking up on water while passing through may be good advice! Especially as there is a place there which I hope is only named "Burns Land & Cattle", rather than that just being a statement about the road...

Here in Denmark we have several towns called “Lem”, which means penis. (It also means “member” or “limb”)

Nibley was named after a leader of the Mormon church. Stupid things you get taught here in Utah.

A bit of useless trivia from my country. Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein. It's the longest place name in South Africa. The literal translation thereof is "the spring where two buffaloes were killed with a single shot".

What about Effingham, Illinois? Or Normal, Illinois? There’s actually a song called “Effington” (originally called “Effingham” but I guess some people got offended) that makes fun of Effingham, Illinois. It’s a funny song, if your into jokes about that sort of thing.

I wish they'd leave our town names alone. The little place we grew up in would not have been taken over by the rich and snooty if we'd kept the name 'Slab town'.

And here I was thinking Australia had some strange named towns (eg. Humpty Doo), But these are quite unique.

There is a village named Dull in Perthshire, Scotland. Many of these look single house places or deserted.

Rough and Ready, CA---which has a road called To Hell and Back Lane. Jackson's Hole, WY. Hell, MI. Kickapoo, KS. Paw Paw, WV. Pee Pee, OH. Spread Eagle, WI. Tightwad, MS. Slick Poo, ID. Bugtussle, KY. Mud Butte, SD (if pronounced incorrectly). Hump Tulips, WA. There are more. We were settling a huge country, for heaven's sake. After a while people get clever, funny, or just brutally honest and descriptive, when naming new places. S**t happens (and somewhere there's probably some hole in the wall town in the boonies named that too).

A honeymoon couple enjoyed their stay at a little town they pronounced 'Gutachee'. But when they refereed to it, no one knew that town, so they spelled it. "Oh", they said, "You mean Gut ache, some cowboys stopped there and they ate some green apples so they named the place Gut ache.
