“Much solemn deliberation goes into the choice of the name for a new nation or what to call a province or state; but toward the lower end of the settlement hierarchy, whimsy and candor are given a free rein, so that we have such gems as: Blue-Eyed Nellie Township, Montana; Snake Bite Township, North Carolina; or Dead Ox Flat Township, Oregon.” From the “By Their Names You Shall Know Them: A Toponymic Approach to the American Land and Ethos” by Wilbur Zelinsky
