They did leave out Palmer and Remlap- the Palmer family apparently had a falling out, so the disgruntled ones moved and named their town Remlap (Palmer spelled backwards

).

And the town we live in used to be called "Jugtown" (they made jugs lol), and they drew the new name out of a hat (from a few finalists)

.

Here's a few...

- Bumpass, VA
- Burnt Chimney, VA
- Burnt Factory, VA
- Burnt Tree, VA
- Butts, VA

- Lawyers, VA
- Lick Skillet, VA
- Mouth of Wilson, VA
- Office Hall, VA
- Scotchtown, VA
- Scrabble, VA
- Scuffletown, VA
- Slabtown, VA
- Stones Store, VA
- Threeway, VA
- Tiny, VA

We don't seem to have as many funny ones as some of the later states, lol.

HOW GREAT IS TEXAS ??!!!

Here is a list of actual places to travel in Texas .


The town I live in is called Plano but is mispronounced. (It should be pronounced Plahno.) It is a Spanish word meaning flat. There are virtually no hills. Another Dallas suburb only a few miles away that is Spanish in origin is called Las Colinas which is the opposite of Plano (The Hills). Yep, it is hilly.

I love the hilly areas in Texas! Magnolia is so flat...but wooded and foresty...almost like not being in Texas at all!

I live in Allen and I also enjoy the ramps, especially 635/75 ramps.

Not mountains, but hills yes. Compared to Plano, it has alps.
