1. Boring, Maryland

We thought our hometowns were pretty boring growing up, but they are nothing compared to this town in Maryland that’s literally called Boring. According to the history books, Boring, Maryland, was not named for being particularly uneventful. Instead, its moniker was chosen to honor a former resident.

The ridicule over the town’s chuckle-inducing name could have been avoided altogether if the town officials had just stuck with its original name, Fairview. Instead, they wanted a more unique and well, less boring, name since many states have a town called Fairview. So, they named it after the town’s first postmaster, David J. Boring. Amusing indeed!
