I have to include this quote from Garrison Keilor in regards to 2 small towns in NW Minnesota. I grew up in Fargo and as young kids, we'd joke about the pun. Sadly enough it was true.
"The town of Fertile, population 853, sits about 19 miles southeast of Crookston on state highway 32; Climax, with 273 listed residents, sits to the west of there on US 75, some thirty miles away. An elderly lady from the former small town expired in the latter, leading to an obituary caption in the paper that read, in bold letters: "Fertile Woman Dies in Climax." Probably the longest-lived journalistic gaffe in the entire state, and one that must have brought at least mortification to its author. You'd hope so anyway."
What always struck me somewhat funny was the exit sign along Interstate 90 for Anaconda and a nearby town called "Opportunity" - the sign said "Anaconda Opportunity." Sounds like fun
