Every state has their fair share of cool, sometimes flat-out bizarre town names and Kansas is no exception. Don’t believe me when I say that some of our town names are pretty strange and/or epic? Then check out this list of 15 of the coolest (and or/weirdest) small towns in Kansas that you’ve probably never heard of:

1. Horace (Population: 70)

Editor's Note: I have no idea who Horace McCoy is... I just needed a picture.
2. Skiddy (Population: 0)

Hopefully the town was named after the skids on the street (and not in other places)...
3. Skidmore (Population: Nada)

Please tell me there is also a Skidless, Kansas!
4. Coyville (Population: 46)

We know that they're just trying to charm us by being so shy...
5. Zook (Population: An old grain elevator)

Not to be confused with the popular hookup site.
6. Oaklawn-Sunview (Population: 3,135)
Flickr/Andres Stell
I can't tell if this is the name of a city or a funeral home.
7. Studley (Population: Zip)

So many babes; so little time.
