Wait… These Street Names in New Hampshire Can’t Be Real (But They Are)
I don’t know who’s in charge of naming streets in New Hampshire… but I need to meet them, or I just need that job as a side hustle.
Because at some point, someone looked at a map, named a road, and said, “Yep… that’s the one,” and nobody questioned it.
And now we all just casually drive past signs like it’s totally normal.
But once you start noticing them… you can’t unsee them.
I went down the rabbit hole on Reddit and here are a few of the weirdest (and funniest) street names I found around New Hampshire:
Small Pox Road – Kingston
This feels really aggressive. Is that necessary?
Like… who approved this? You still have your job?
Pickpocket Road – Exeter
Again… not exactly comforting if you’re new in town.
Happy Hooker Lane – Salem
I mean… as long as she’s happy, right?
Still not a sentence you want to say out loud when giving directions.
Ta Da Dump Road – Holderness
This one sounds like a punchline.
And honestly… it kind of is. It literally leads to the town dump. LOL
Tumbledown Dick Road – Brookfield
No explanation. No notes. Just… wow.
This one has been making people scratching their head for years.
Electric Ave – Penacook
Normally not weird… until you realize it’s a dead-end street.
Which feels like the ultimate joke. Then you get the song stuck in your head from the 80s. 🎶 We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 🎶
Bloody Point Road – Newington
Sounds less like a place… and more like the start of a horror movie or crime scene.
Helter Skelter Road – Littleton
Either a Beatles reference… or chaos. Possibly both.
Frying Pan Lane – Stratham
If this connects to Bacon Street somewhere… I’m moving immediately.
Sesame Street – Raymond
Yes. Like that Sesame Street.
No confirmation yet if Big Bird lives or has lived there… but I’m choosing to believe it.
Dirt Road – Merrimack
No creativity. No fluff. Just… dirt.
Honestly, kind of respect it. If you need to know, it leads to Blueberry Island.

This is so New Hampshire and exactly why I love it here.
It’s not polished. It’s just… real.
Some of these names come from history, some from geography, and some feel like inside jokes that somehow became permanent.
And now they’re part of the personality of the state.
I KNOW I’m missing some good ones…
