Santa Claus, Indiana

When you think of Santa Claus, you probably think of the North Pole. But we guess the big man himself has got himself a holiday home, as there's also a Santa Claus in Indiana. What's so funny about this small town is that it's accidentally become one of the biggest tourist attractions in America - and that's all because the people of this small town forgot to do their research.

Originally, this town wanted to call itself Santa Fe. But when they realized that this name had already been taken, they decided to go for the closest alternative - and that just so happened to be Santa Claus!
