Ok, try this one.
The town of Neon, Ky. got it's name because when it was only a whistle-stop railroad station, they didn't have a platform. In order to get on the train, you put your knee on a stump and the conductor grabbed your hand and pulled you up into the passenger car. Knee-on = Neon. Get it?

Just outside the great city of Loudon, Tn, there is a road called Get Good Hollow Road. Sometime back in the past, there was a moonshine still there and you could get good moonshine in Get Good Hollow. Would I lie to you? Look it up on your map program. It's really there.

And then there's Fort Pierce, Fla. which began as a small settlement where a fort was planned. There is no record that the fort ever was built, but the name stuck.

A short drive south of there is Boca Raton, Fla. which means "Rat's mouth." As Red Skeleton used to say, "I just tell 'em. I don't explain 'em."

Nashville, Tennessee began as Fort Nashbourgh. The Fort was dropped and bourgh was changed to ville because they didn't want to mix French and English.

My favorite (and sometimes I repeat myself myself)is the town called 88 in Kentucky. It seem the first postmaster couldn't read words, but he could read numbers.

I heard New York was named for a steak.
I wonder where Flagstaff, Arizona got it's name?
