North Carolina: Whynot

N 41° 49.827' W 89° 14.591'

As the name suggests, Whynot was born out of boredom and frustration. The rural community in Randolph County, North Carolina, found its memorable identity during a lengthy debate in the 1860s. As townspeople threw out suggestion after suggestion about what to name the community (so that a new post office could be established), a frustrated resident finally said, “Why not name it Why Not and let's go home?" Everyone agreed, the name was approved, and Whynot (then two words, Why Not) came to be.
