The Funniest Town Names in the U.S.

Why, Arizona
Good question, America!
No, Why, Arizona, wasn’t named by a snarky teen. In fact, the name is a direct reference to the community’s roads. You see, Why is home to two major highways (State Route 85 and State Route 86) that once intersected to form the shape of a Y. And, due to a now-abolished state law requiring city names to have at least three letters, decision-makers chose Why. The “Y” intersection no-longer exists, but the “Why” name lives on!
