Peculiar, Missouri - population 4,600..

The name requested by the Postmaster there was "Excelsior", but there was already a township by that name in Missouri. The next several requests were also taken, so the Postmaster requested something "peculiar" from the Postmaster General, and that's exactly what they got.

 

So be careful what you wish for from people who don't have to live with the consequences of their actions. Congress, for example.
