EIGHTY EIGHT KENTUCKY

Eighty Eight is an unincorporated town in Barren County. According to the New York Times, Dabnie Nunally, the towns first postmaster, came up with the name. Nunnally didnt think very highly of his handwriting, and thought that using a number as the towns name would make legibility on mail less of an issue. To come up with the numbers, he reached into his pocket and counted his change. He had 88 cents. An alternate explanation sometimes floated around is that Eighty Eight is located eight miles from each of its neighboring towns
