Have you heard of these towns? I’ve heard of most but many were new to me. Which do you think was the funniest?
For a good time, visit Happy, Texas (79042) out toward Amarillo!
I was not sure where we were at then we saw the sign for:
Uncertain
City Limit
Population 94
I have also been to Uncertain, Texas. On the shores of Caddo Lake, it’s name denoted its close proximity to Louisiana and the town’s people were unsure if the were in that state or Texas. Hence, the “Uncertain” naming for not knowing the proper place and state.
Muleshoe is supposed to be 1 word.
They forgot Nowhere, Tx….
Forgot, Atlanta too 75551
Good list, but
How does a Dallas Magazine forget Sunnyvale???
Also Atlanta Tx, New Boston TX
Dish TX
If you’re feeling luxurious; Mercedes, TX
Forget Lonestar Texas?
You left out CENTER, TX and WEST, TX
Center is NOWHERE NEAR the center of Texas, and West is not in west Texas. LOL!
There’s a lot more funny names: Oatmeal, Gravy, Matador, Bacon, Noodle, Noodle Dome, Heckville, Finney Switch, Happy Union, New Deal….Heckville, Happy Union, Finney Switch & New Deal alone are just between I-27 & FM 400,Finney Switch just past Plainview which shoulda been mentioned. Wink Wink…
Coke, Tx
I would like to live in Happy TX. I didn’t see it on the list.
For foreign place names, there’s also Odessa and Edinburg.
what about welcome texas, near brenham/ bellville
I graduated from high scool in Nevada, TX. Unless you are from there you would not know it is pronounced with a long A, as in “rain”.
