What is the Best Named Town in Texas?
God Bless Texas. I moved to this state just over 5 years ago and I love living here. Even if I do live in the area that the rest of Texas doesn't really consider a part of Texas. Another great thing about the state of Texas is the name of some of the towns. Here are some of the more creative and interesting town names in the Lone Star States.
- Gun Barrel City, TX
- Cut and Shoot, TX
- Texas City (Yes, it's simple, but still good.)
- Dime Box, TX
- Glasscock County (I know, not a city, but this is awesome.)
- Bacon, TX
- Noodle, TX
- Mars, TX
- Venus, TX
- Telephone, TX
- Nameless, TX
- Bug Tussle, TX
- White Settlement, TX
- Eulogy, TX
- Guys Store, TX
- Kickapoo, TX
- Baby Head, TX
- Uncertain, TX
My favorite out of all of these? It has to be Bug Tussle. That sounds like a town that would be the setting for Rango 2. There apparently is also a story about Telephone, TX:
“It was named for the fact that the only telephone in the area was in the local general store owned by Pete Hindman. Apparently postal authorities had repeatedly refused Hindman's applications for a post office in his store because the names he submitted for it were already being used by other Texas post offices. The merchant finally submitted the name Telephone. The name was accepted, and the post office was opened in 1886.
