I love my state for many reasons.
Scenic beauty, fresh seafood and a huge selection of craft breweries to name a few.
But it’s the bizarre and completely quirky things that constantly reaffirm its perfection to me.

No.
I’m not making this up.

It positively screams for a meme.

No doubt.
At least the male dorms…

Perhaps the word crotch didn’t have the same connotation back then.

And because I always do my due diligence when blogging about strange things, I punched “Katie’s Crotch Road” into my map app.

It does indeed exist.
Though my iPhone seems a little puritanical when it comes to spelling.

Well that’s original, but names like that aren’t that rare I think. Take Jackson Hole Wyoming, like I want to know, who is Jackson and why is his hole so famous? Just like Katie and her famous crotch….:P

They could hook up, but there’s probably too many holes and not enough… oh, never mind.

If they left it up to an Internet vote I suspect the road would be renamed Crotchy McCrotchface.😁

Or better yet, “ I heard Ray took up homesteading on Katie’s Crotch.”
The possibilities are endless…

LMAO!!!! Alas, poor Katie, her Crotch has been well-staked and plotted.

“Crotch” has non-anatomical meanings since it’s derived from the same word as “crutch”. The explanation that Katie’s crotch was where her house sat in the middle of a split in the road sounds plausible.
I wanted to say something funny here but I figure everyone’s already had a dig at Katie’s crotch.

Yes, I’m aware of the more mundane explanation. But humor can be pretty low brow around here and I couldn’t resist.

The real story is that an old oak tree stood on Katie MacFadden’s property, and in a lightning storm the tree was split down the muddle, but the tree survived and grew in a V shape, which in 1762 was called a crotch. The leaves in summer looked somewhat like a lady’s pubic area, so Katie turned the house into a brothel, known far and wide as Katie’s Crotch House. After the house was burned down by Suffragettes, the House was dropped from the name, and replaced by Road in honour of the most famous “pubic” house in Maine.

We have a ‘Fanny Hands Lane’ near to us. Apparently the then Landowner John Hands named it after his new wife Frances – although I prefer the local apocryphal history. I would also like to know how Minge Lane and Bell End got their names…

There’s a similar problem in Colorado with people stealing exit 420 signs. It’s high time we confronted this problem!

I don’t know if you should be punching Katie’s Crotch into anything. That could be dangerous.
