Let’s choose an attractive name for our new settlement. I know – how about Pigs Ear?

Dunno how it got its name, maybe an incident involving a pig’s ear or something resembling a pig’s ear like a hill?

I woulda thought this would be upper Midwest, maybe Wisconsin!

Presumably related to the Gold Rush, as this is Gold Country. I kinda like the nearby places “Red Dog” and “Brady Ranch” too.

Stony Lonesome, Bartholomew County IN

Just a few miles from Gnaw Bone, IL.

Said to have been pretty much as advertised at settlement time.

Customizable geography!

Yourname Creek, Montana, Powell County

Ran out of ideas for naming things, I guess.

And even when they moved the town they kept the Peculiar Name.

Peculiar Missouri, Cass County.

Proud of their uniqueness, maybe?

Aren’t you a bit old to be a Girl Scout, miss?
