The Funniest Town Names in the U.S.
| August 20, 2018
Tightwad, Missouri
Another tough sell to adventuring travelers, Tightwad, Missouri is located along Missouri Route 7 and boasts a modest population of 64 people. The story behind the village’s name is murky at best. As far as I can tell, the town was named after a store owner who cheated a postman out of 50 cents for a watermelon. Or maybe it was a chicken. Either way, it’s safe to say that the residents have a cents of humor (I’m so sorry).
