By now, you’ve probably realized that Minnesota has more than a few strange place names. We’ve got towns that out-of-towners struggle to pronounce and a whole slew of place names that have a surprising meaning. But what about unique street names? Every town has at least one baffling street name. Here are 19 of our favorite crazy street names from towns around Minnesota.
- Castle Danger Road - Two Harbors
Google Maps Is there an actual castle on it? What was the danger? Too many questions about this weird street name.
- Limberdink Road - Kasota
Google Maps Who or what this road is named after is anyone’s guess.
- Dysprosium Street - Ramsey

- Traffic Street - Minneapolis

- Oink Joint Road - Wadena
Google Maps A pig farm? A barbecue restaurant? We’re not quite sure what goes down on Oink Joint Road.
- Pigs Eye Lake Road - St. Paul
Ruin Raider/Flickr It’s only weird until you remember that the entire city of St. Paul used to be called Pig’s Eye. Then you’re just relieved we got away with just the road name.
- Little Smokies Lane - Winona
Drew Geraets/Flickr Someone must’ve been hungry when they came up for the name of this road.

- Sugarloaf Trail - Minneapolis
Google Maps This sounds like a pretty tasty street to live on.
