Nameless, TN - The Town Founders Got Lazy

Nameless, Tennessee is what you get when you just can't be bothered to think up a new name for your town. The legend goes that when the town applied to get a post office, they left the name section on the application blank, causing the department to give the town the name, Nameless. However, nobody truly knows for certain how the town got its name. Either way, it is unincorporated now, and it has few stores left and no post office.

Though, like most small towns in Tennesse, it does offer some gorgeous views for anyone who wants to get off the beaten track. The town's general store also opens throughout the year to throw a party.
