Humptulips is the first that comes to mind.

I don't live anywhere near North Carolina, but I can't get over the fact that there's a real town called Back Swamp.

There's a village in Austria called F-ing.
And when I say F-ing I mean the full seven-letter word. It has nothing to do with the English profane word. It was founded by a Bavarian nobleman named Focko. So the current name of the village is a deriviate of that.
There's even a wikipedia article of it! Search at your own risk. XD

http://m.voices.yahoo.com/weird-quirky-peculiar-names-towns-cities-usa-8890281.htmlYeah there you go. Go Alaska!!
They forgot Buckland. And Anchorage is pretty interesting. And Fairbanks is just ironic. Seriously, you ever heard of a fair bank? And probably several others that for some reason havnt crossed my mind. Oh and Nikiski.(pronounced ni[i as in it]-kiss-kee)
