Climax, Georgia

With a name like Climax, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this small town in Georgia is one of the most exciting places in the whole of America. But, sadly, the reasoning behind this hilarious name isn't quite as fun or free-loving as we imagine. That's because this small town is located at the "climax" (e.g the highest point on the railroad) between the Chattahoochee River and Savannah, so it seemed like the most appropriate name.

Back in the 1800s, this name made total sense. But now that times have changed and people have dirtier minds, you probably don't need us to tell you that the town sign has become somewhat of a tourist attraction.
