People in America use different ways to give names to their towns. Some people choose to name their town after a place they used to live, others name it after a local landmark, and some go for a really strange name that guarantees their town sign will be stolen for many years.
At Estately, we wanted to celebrate the most unique city, town, and community names in America. We searched through many maps to find the strangest ones. Maybe it will help home buyers find the perfect place to live. If you are searching for a house in Pie Town or Chili, or perhaps a condo in Accident or Boring, it is recommended to use Estately for your real estate search.
