Bugtussle, Kentucky

No, the people of Bugtussle in Kentucky don't spend their days picking fights with the ants and cockroaches. But you might be happy to learn that this small town got its name due to the very large population of bugs that live there! Back in the day, farmers would spend hours trying to get the bugs off their land, and those experiences resulted in this very funny town name.

It seems as though the name has stuck, but thankfully, the local residents have managed to control the bugs in their town way more than their ancestors. So, that's a relief.
