There's a Humptulips, Washington. It's about an hour and a half south of Forks, which can be considered a weird name for a town for obvious reasons.

ETA: After a quick Google search:

When I went to college in Iowa I went to a town named Muscatine once with a girl.

Her dad was horribly racist and xenophobic.

Liberal, Kansas - Hog Back, Kansas - Holyrood, Kansas - Gas, Kansas
Liberal is a weird name for a town in Kansas.
If one is driving by Gas, Kansas is one passing Gas.

Congleton is known as Bear Town...

Congleton became notorious in the 1620s when bear-baiting, as well as cockfighting, were popular sports. The town was unable to attract large crowds to its bear-baiting contests and lacked the money to pay for a new, more aggressive bear.

The town used money it had saved to buy a new bible and it replenished the fund with the income from the increased number of spectators. It became legend that Congleton sold its Bible to pay for a new bear.

Tucson is called The Old Pueblo (sometimes The Naked Pueblo) because it was an Army fort in the 19th c. Arizona is the Grand Canyon State for obvious reasons, but is sometime called the Copper state because of vast amount of copper in our soil.
Californians have been known to call us "Zonies"
