Nimrod, Minnesota

Will you be adding the town of Nimrod to your road trip itinerary? Although it's a tiny town with a population of just 69 people, it's still worth a visit - even if you just check out the sign. But while you may scoff at the name of this town in today's day and age, it's important to note that the meaning of nimrod was a little different when this town was founded.

In fact, the name Nimrod can be found in the Bible and refers to someone who is a mighty hunter. Most people don't associate that meaning with the town now, but the same can't be said for the next few towns.
