Mississippi: Alligator

N 41° 48.968' W 89° 15.142'

The southeastern U.S. is known for its wild alligator populations, so it seems fitting that Mississippi would have a town named after the frightening green creatures. However, the town of 200 people actually got its name from the lake that runs through it. Alligator Lake was once teeming with the territorial reptiles, and while efforts to reintroduce the species to its native habitat have been only marginally successful, the name lives on.
