    Slab City, CA ?C A Place Totally Off The Grid

    Slab City, CA ?C A Place Totally Off The Grid

    [ranking: 7]
    In the words of Vice, "This bizarre, lawless land in the California desert is inhabited by drug addicts, eccentrics, army vets, hippies and just plain old weirdos. Slab City is referred to by its residents as 'the last free place in America.'"
    Remember that scene in Into the Wild when Christopher McCandless (played by Emile Hirsch) meets Tracy Tatro (played by Kristen Stewart)? That was in Slab City. It's a place where hobos can live in peace, off the grid, free to smoke crack and be hippies. There are 150 people who permanently live there, but squatters and RV owners sometimes visit to pass the time. Decommissioned and uncontrolled, Slab City is a bastion for the free spirited anti-socialite.

    Colma, CA ?C Where Two Million People Have Been Laid To Rest

    [ranking: 4]
    In Colma's two square miles, there are 17 cemeteries. The San Mateo County necropolis has been dubbed the "City of Souls" because it hosts an estimated two million dead people and only 1,200 live ones. Back in the days of William Randolph Hearst and Wyatt Earp??who are actually buried there??they transported bodies from San Francisco to Colma to make room.

    Miracle Village, FL ?C The Town Of Sex Offenders

    [ranking: 5]
    Miracle Village is a small housing development outside of Pahokee, FL, that's home to more than 100 registered sex offenders. It was founded by a minister named Richard Witherow who worked in prisons for 30 years. He created the development as a place for recently released sex offenders to live while reintegrating into the community.
    Witherow and his ministry, Matthew 25, oversee the development and have final approval over who lives there.

    Maharishi Vedic City, IA ?C Where All The Homes Look Alike

    Maharishi Vedic City, IA ?C Where All The Homes Look Alike

    [ranking: 15]
    A lot of cities have their own set of codes dictating what houses need to look like, but Maharishi Vedic City takes that code just a little bit farther. Originally named Vedic City, the local government there decided it wanted all the houses and city buildings to reflect the Maharishi Sthapatya Veda. It's an ancient system of architecture and design from Hindu yogis meant to protect the residents of said buildings. 
    Originally thought up in 2001 by a group of Maharishi yogis and real estate developers, the town is about 77 square miles. The city banned all pesticides and only sells organic food. About 250 people lived there as of 2010.

    Nameless, TN ?C That's Really Its Name

    Nameless, TN ?C That's Really Its Name

    [ranking: 16]
    Of the many unusual names of American cities, including Ugly, TX, Peculiar, MO, and Accident, MD, Nameless, TN, is one of the best. Legend has it that a long time ago when its residents applied for a post office, they left the name on the application blank, so the US Post Office Department issued applications back with "Nameless" stamped on the form. Sounds like somebody at the Post Office was trolling.

About Random Weirdest Small Towns In The United States

It's an exciting tool for displaying random weirdest small towns in the united states. We collected a list of "Random Weirdest Small Towns In The United States" from ranker, which was screened by countless online votes. You can view random weirdest small towns in the united states shows from this page, click on "Show all by ranking" button to show the complete list, or visit the original page for a more detailed introduction.

A post on Medium in May 2016 attempted to tackle a seemingly unanswerable question: what's the weirdest town in America? To do this, Lyman Stone used 20 different variables, including what percentage of each city's population was foreign-born, married, working, in the armed forces, etc. He then compared that data to national averages. What he found was that San Jose, CA, is the most bizarre town in the US. But though it may be demographically weird, San Jose doesn't hold a candle to these weird small towns in the United States.

Truth be told, there are thousands of weird US towns that didn't make this list, some of which include Hollywood, Portland, and Providence. The following, however, are notorious for their stark oddity. If you've ever wanted to travel America in search of the silliest, saddest, and most unhinged of all the states, consider this a travel guide to the weirdest small towns in America.
