Chicken -Alaska
When the town was incorporated in 1902, someone suggested calling it Ptarmigan, which was the name of a bird found in the area that looks like a chicken. It later became the state bird. Trouble was, no one knew how to spell Ptarmigan, so they used Chicken instead.

Shitterton is a hamlet in Dorset, England. It has attracted worldwide attention for its name, which dates back at least 1000 years and means "farmstead on the stream used as an open sewer".

Nowhere Else Tasmania
Named for: The fact the original road from Barrington ended up in a farmer’s paddock and presumably “went nowhere else”. Today, however, you can continue 6km down Nowhere Else Rd and arrive at Promised Land.
