Town names in North Dakota can range from pretty generic to very interesting. We have towns with names like Ellendale or Mayville, but we also have towns with names such as Gackle and Portal. Even if they have unusual names, they are still interesting enough to visit, and here are 7 of the silliest named towns in The Peace Garden State:
This little town in Mercer County only has a population of 273, but it made national news back in 1969 when thousands of students on spring break attempted an event called "Zip to Zap." Riots broke out and the residents were disgruntled by the huge mass of people that appeared all in one day to the otherwise quiet town.
It's hard not to chuckle at a name like Buttzville, and it really does exist. It is mostly abandoned at this point but the site and the name still exist.
