Neversink, New York

With a name like Neversink, you'd like to assume that this small town in New York would never sink. But what's so ironic about this name is the fact that it's actually 175ft below the water level and was founded when the Neversink River flooded surrounding towns and forced people to flee their homes. Today, it's a small town full of locals who take advantage of the nearby reservoirs and lakes.

Of course, this town is officially named after the river that runs through it - but the fact that it's surrounded by stories of floods is definitely not lost on road trippers passing by.
