Pennsylvania: Intercourse

N 41° 49.828' W 89° 13.418'

It’s OK, you can giggle — the Village of Intercourse even says so on their official website. There are a few theories as to why the Lancaster County town adopted its infamous name in 1814. One story suggests that the name came from the town’s location at the intersection of two major roads. Another theory is that it evolved from “Entercourse,” based on the town’s proximity to the entrance of a former race track. A third possibility is that the name was instead tied to the early English meaning of the word intercourse. At the time, it referred to unity and friendship based on a community of faith, a description the village says still applies to Intercourse today.
