Last Update: 2008/08/22 I live in Michigan, where we have a city called Hell. It's rather an odd thing when someone asks you where you live, and you simply reply... Hell. This got me thinking that there must be plenty of other cities throughout the world with equally strange names. So, I did some research with some maps and came up with plenty of weird names for cities, bodies of water, and mountains. The more interesting results are below. Just keep in mind that these are in fact -real- places in the world, although, not all of them are cities. Some of the places are meeting areas, regions, or unincorporated tracts of land. - City - Body of Water - Mountain
