“Discover America’s Most Bizarre Town Names: What Secrets Do They Hide?”
Two Egg, Florida
Jackson County, Florida, is the proud home of a town called Two Egg. The unincorporated community supposedly received its name during the Great Depression, when people low on cash would trade eggs for goods at a local store.
It’s said that Two Egg is home to a Bigfoot-type creature that locals call the “Two Egg Stump Jumper.” In addition to sightings, people have reported hearing growling noises in the woods at night. Local historian Dale Cox told Two Egg’s local news, “I’ve spent decades of my life in and around these woods and swamps and sometimes you just get a feeling that something is there, watching you as you go past.”
Weiner, Arkansas
Weiner, Arkansas, used to have a name that sounds a lot less silly: West Prairie. The town, located in Poinsett County, was later renamed after the engineer who oversaw construction of its first railroad in 1881. Weiner, 1.4 square miles, had a population of 686 people as of 2016.
Weiner is notably the hometown of reality television personality Tia Booth. She’s appeared in season 22 of The Bachelor as well as Bachelor in Paradise. As the Arkansas Times reported, Booth returned there in an episode. She and bachelor Arie Luyendyk “came to little ol’ Weiner to visit the family.”
