"Idiotville is a ghost town and former community located in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States, near the mouth of Idiot Creek on the Wilson River, on the route of Oregon Route 6.[1] Idiotville's elevation is 1200 feet.[1] Since the spot was so remote, it was said that only an idiot would work there, so the camp was popularly known as Idiotville. The name was eventually applied to the stream.[2]"

reminds me of Failetown:

Quote :

"Failetown is a ghost town in Clarke County, Alabama, United States. Lewis Faile (aka Louis Fails) and his children, Richmond, Terrell and Morgan Faile settled Failetown in the 1850s when they moved west from South Carolina. Today the town sits abandoned, but residents once included the Faile, Mott, and Agee families. The Faile Cemetery, Post Office, and other homes in various states of decay are all that remain of the town today. On October 4, 1813 the Bashi Skirmish of the Creek War was fought in Failetown. A Clarke County historical marker which stands on Woods Bluff Road between HWY 69 and Cassidy Hill marks the location."

"In the U.S., North Carolina, the leading state in sweet potato production, provided 38.5% of the 2007 U.S. production of sweet potatoes. California, Louisiana, and Mississippi compete closely with each other in production. Louisiana has been a long-time major producer, once second only to North Carolina, and closely followed by California, until the latter began surpassing it in 2002. In 2007, California produced 23%, Louisiana 15.9%, and Mississippi 19% of the U.S. total."
