The town of Two Egg, Florida got its name during the Great Depression. At that time many of the town’s people faced unemployment and malnutrition which led to bartering in order to get some food. There were two boys who would bring two eggs to a local store in exchange for a cup of sugar. Soon the locals began calling the store “two egg store”. When traveling salesmen picked up this phrase they passed it along to neighboring towns. So it came to be Two Egg. The town’s claim to fame is that it has a resident ghost known as the Ghost of Bellamy Bridge and it is the childhood home of Oscar-winning actress Faye Dunaway.

@MarieCoyle I wonder how many live there. There are no stores or supermarkets, so it is mainly about the name

@RasmaSandra It’s not really a town. Just some scattered houses,as I recall.

@LooeyVille and interesting I checked, and there are around 3,000 living there and it has no stores or supermarkets so they all have to have a car.

@TheHorse to me it sounds like a place I wouldn't mind living in since I am into the World Beyond and they got a ghost,

What a great name for the town. It's one of the more unusual I'd say.

I like that name. I told hubby the other day that if we went traveling around that's the kind of places I would want to go to. The weird named ones
