Bald Knob, Arkansas (also one in W.Virginia)
(Reader Contribution to 10 of the Funniest U.S. Town Names)
This White County town of a little over 3,000 people is known for its delicious strawberries. The unusual name comes from a huge rock outcropping that was nearly an acre in size. The community was incorporated in 1881 with railroad construction beginning in 1872. A local legend claims that Hernando De Soto discovered, then referred to, the large rock as "bald knob" while exploring the Mississippi River Valley in 1541.
