I was looking at some town names in Pennsylvania.  There are an extremely large number of towns with sexual innuendo’s that may be inferred when you read them.  I started by looking at town names of PA in general… then I kinda got stuck in Lancaster County (where there are a lot of Amish and Mennonites).  After looking  for a while longer, I decided that my list, this round, will just be of names in Lancaster, PA.

I will try to tell a story using just the Township names, that may shed light on why the Amish and Mennonites are so strict in Lancaster County:

Hempfield

Highville

Falmouth

Bird in Hand

Providence

Fertility

Leacock

Lititz

Blue Ball

Pleasant Grove

Mount Joy

Intercourse

Red Run

Falmouth

Climax

Paradise

Be aware, PA has more towns with interesting names… these just all happen to be within the same county.

Here are a few more names from PA:

Moreheadsville
Butztown
Reamstown
Lickdale
Yocumtown
Beaverdale
Jugtown
Balltown
Pigs Ear

Someone tried to tell me there was a Zip Down and Big Ball.  Now I have been to many places in PA and I have GOOGLE at my finger tips.  I have found no such places.  If you have some interesting Pennsylvania town names, please send them in

For that matter, send in any funny town names and maybe we can be another blog that makes a project dedicated to odd town names.
