yeehaw junction florida, Unusual Town Names

Florida is home to some amazing cities and small towns. Even more amazing, are some of the unusual town names of these areas. Throughout the state, we have some of the most amazing, crazy-named towns. Florida Man has been here a long time and in some places, apparently, he had the naming rights. Some you may have heard of while others, may have you just as confused when you see it written out. Ever thought about those areas you drive through on road trips where it looks like no one lives there? Those small towns have a few people that call them home. Even more important, they call it by the proper, unusual name. I'll include pictures because despite the name, some of these places look pretty incredible.

Have you ever passed an exit to an area and read the sign in confusion? It’s like you know where you are, but have no clue how to pronounce the town by the right name. Visit Florida gathered some of the most unusual town names in Florida. Test your state knowledge by seeing if you can pronounce or ever heard of these Florida towns. Trust me, it’s not easy.
