11 Funny And Weird Massachusetts Street Names

Do you ever find yourself driving around an unfamiliar town and coming across a street name that almost makes you swerve off the road? We’ve helpfully compiled a list of the craziest Massachusetts street names so you can wonder at all the weird and wacky toponymy this state has to offer from the comfort and safety of your (hopefully stationary) internet browser.

1. Fresh Holes Road, Hyannis. Well....at least they're fresh.

2. Noisy Hole Road, Mashpee. Again with the holes. Lord.

3. Burning Bush Road, Mashpee. A dramatic name for a pretty low-key street.

4. Squidnet Way off Salti Way, Nantucket. This intersection is almost too nautical to handle.

5. Captain Bacon Road, South Yarmouth. Captain Bacon! A hero for our times!

6. Chickatawbut Street, Dorchester. This one is just fun to say.

7. Goodenough Street, Brighton. That's the spirit.

8. Myopia Road, Winchester. Myopia means "a lack of imagination" or "nearsightedness."

9. Roach Street off of Pleasant Street, Dorchester. Roach Street is already awful, but living right off of Pleasant Street is just salt in the wound.

10. Wigglesworth Street, Malden. The cutest street of all.

11. Rascally Rabbit Road, Barnstable. I would bet good money that etching the street name into stone was a solution to repeated theft of the sign.

Massachusetts may be the land of the puritans but a few oddball names squeaked through. We would absolutely love to hear your crazy street name contributions!
