Oh, and how could I forget?? Hop Bottom, also in Pennsylvania.
Yeah, I noticed many towns with numbers. I didn't listed them, because I could not find any interesting history behind it.
Feel free to add...

I've been to college in Putney, VT, which just sounds small (and it is). Also been to Charm, OH, in Amish Country. Never been to Zzyzx, in my home state of CA. And apparently there's a Poston #1 and Poston #2 in AZ.

My area of Western North Carolina has areas with names such as Spillcorn and Milk Sick Cove. I sit on my porch every morning and look at No Fat Mountain.
