WEIRD TOWN NAMES
AND THEIR ORIGINS


 


No need to get all…


 … embarrassed and shy.

Formerly known as "Cross Keys," there are a few explanations to the origin of this town's name. 1. It was named after a racecourse, which had an entrance that was called "Entercourse", which eventually evolved into Intercourse. 2. The crossing of two famous roads in the town and 3. In the Old English language used during the 1700's, the word "intercourse" actually meant fellowship and friendship.

Blue Ball, PA and Bird In Hand, PA are not far from Intercourse.


All of those towns are composed primarily of the Amish.

I think that the town that PCW lives in has a wierd name for a town.  For those of you who have her on your list of friends at myspace, check out her profile and you will see what I mean.
