Naw, I don't think there's a list other than maybe just with a map or something...I'm just talking about funny-sounding towns we've seen on our travels across the state. I also like Calico Rock, but I like Calico Rock - I just think it's a neat name.
Booger Hollow isn't too far from me...though I've never heard it pronounced any way other than Booger Holler... |

I have a list of all the towns and about 70% of the place names in AR..I don't have a Booger Holler on it ...must be real small...where's it at and I'll add it.

It's on Hwy. 7 outside of Russellville, mostly used for giving directions since the "town" is basically closed. Wait, here it is in Wikipedia!

Imboden. How could you also not like the supposed story for Ink??? Technically speaking, Booger Holler's not a town, it's a business.
Isn't Monkey Run just a colloquial name for St. Joe? My dad grew up there and said some people called it that if I remember right.

Looks like it's about 10 miles west of Mtn. Home...up in Baxter County. Are you talking about St. Joe's down near HS and Mt. Ida?
I don't know the story for Ink...do tell...

Marked Tree, Arkansas is another worthy contender.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Felsenthal, my mom was from there, lovely little town in South Arkansas on the Ouachita river.
