Between is certainly a unique name for a town. It gets its name though because it is exactly halfway in between Monroe and Loganville. |

Always thought Senoia (east Coweta county, just south of Peachtree City) was a strange name. The locals pronounce it SenNOY sort of like it rhymes with "annoy"
Speaking of, that county is a strange name too. We used to say "ever seen a cow eat a county?" and thought we were quite funny. Didn't take much to amuse us back then, lol.

I just thought it was funny.  |
Working retail years ago I had a woman give me an extra cent so she wouldn't be paying exactly $13.00.
As for town names, there is a Dewy Rose in Elbert county. |
