This fascinating book, the result of many years of research, is a collection of more than 3,000 odd town names and their origins. If you start looking, you will find that America is filled with towns with fascinating monikers.

The list goes on and on, including stories of such intriguing places as Peculiar, Uncertain, Embarrass, Baby Head, Coupon, Gnaw Bone, Goose Egg, Total Wreck, and Welfare. How charming to know that just a few miles from the Interstate lies a tiny hamlet by the name of Hot Coffee or Pancake. Maps.
