Weird City Names
Here's an amusing list of weird city and town names. Of course, I immediately wondered if all these names were real, so I checked a random sample in Mapquest. Nothing came up for Hornytown, North Carolina (a google search didn't turn up any offical website for it either, though there is a widespread report, probably false, that Hornytown has banned massage parlors). Nor was there a Love Ladies, New Jersey in Mapquest. That doesn't mean Hornytown and Love Ladies don't exist. It's just that I can't find them. However, according to Mapquest it would be possible to take a road trip from Intercourse, Pennsylvania to Hooker, Arkansas, with a quick stop in Hot Coffee, Mississippi, and finishing up in Climax, North Carolina.
Update: Apparently there is a 'Love Ladies' in New Jersey, but it's spelled all as one word: Loveladies, NJ. However, I've still found no evidence that there's a Hornytown in North Carolina, although there is a Hornyhead Mountain.
Update 2: By randomly typing words into Mapquest it turns out to be quite easy to come up with weird place names. In just a few minutes I came up with these: Shite Creek, Idaho; Trash Branch, Alabama; Weird Lake, Minnesota; and Dork Canal, Oregon.

There is a Mile Run Pennsylvania. Sure, Alone it isn't funny.. but after driving on the interstate for 9 hours and you see a road sign that says "Mile Run, Two Miles" it tends to cheer you up. =]

(on a side note, the word I had to type in the submit box was hell; yep, that about describes my life right now.)
---The reason the GOOGLE DID NOT pick up your question, is because it is misspelled. The town in which it is illegeal to have massage parlors in is HORNEYTOWN (notice the E, between the N and the Y.) Not HORNYTOWN. Horneytown North Carolina is what you are actually looking for. I hope this clarification may help you in your search.

Ok, to the professor, I am a firefighter at guess where? HORNEYTOWN FIRE DEPT. If you dont believe it, you may ride by yourself It has been there since the early 60's. We run in Guilford, Davidson and primarily in Forsyth county. I have been firefighting for 4 years there; and yes we do sell t-shirts for 12 dollars a piece.

I live in Horneytown, NC!
It's a verryyyyy little town, if that. My mailing adress is considered High Point, although you drive past a sign that says "now leaving high point city limits", then one that says "now leaving guildford county" (where high point is) then you enter forsyth county and theres horneytown! it's basically centered around the intersection of old main street and horneytown road at a fourway stop. there is a brand-new horneytown fire department, a small sort of convience store called tuckers grill, a used car salesplace, and they are building a new hair salon. that is it. i don't know if the comment about the massage parlor law is true or not, but there aren't any here! we all go into high point, or hop on 66 (right there) and 40 (which also cross there) and head to greensboro for entertainment. it's just a very small little place, but it does indeed exist. i should know, i've been proudly horny four 10 years! :D

Seriously though, Horneytown Fire Department (and 3 other fire departments) put out my house fire in 2001. They and the town are very real.

Hi there is a place in nc called horneytown, i was there today and took a few pics of the fire dpt. and i got a shirt. its not a town its more like a crossroads area. but its real.
Posted by vickie in thomasville nc on Fri Sep 19, 2008 at 10:12 PM
I can 100% state that there is a horneytown, nc. I was born here and have lived here for 21 years off of Horneytown rd. Theres a fire department and a service station. The reason why you probably can't find anything is because it is a very small town. If you want evidence, i can happly send pictures. There is also a Climax, NC.
Posted by Cali in Horneytown,NX on Fri Sep 26, 2008 at 08:59 PM
Horneytown NC Is a real Place. No it doesnt have a zip code or anything but I've been there and visited the Horneytown Fire Department and everything else. It is named after the road.

Horneytown is the way it is spelled. Try that and you will find it.
Posted by jacqueline brayman in lebanon, mo on Wed Jun 03, 2009 at 03:20 PM
the reason why you can't find that north carolina town is because it's spelled: Horneytown. that's with an "e". i saw a picture of the fire dept sign on one of my friend's facebook.
