Hell, Michigan

Many people couldn't think of anything worse than going to Hell, but there are some people in Michigan who call this place their home. In fact, there are around 70 people who permanently live in the small town of Hell - and it seems as though they don't mind this unfortunate name. But where did it come from? According to local legend, this town was so-named after a man called George Reeves.

George lived in the town during the 1830s and reportedly spent his days trying to sell his homemade liquor. This didn't go down well with his wife, who would often say, "He's gone to hell again."
