NAMELESS, Tenn. -- Established in 1866, Nameless in Jackson County, Tenn., is believed to have received its odd name from postal officials after residents couldn't agree on a name.

At its population pinnacle, Nameless had about 250 residents, a post office, an elementary school and some stores.

Arguably, Nameless’ biggest tourist attraction is the “Welcome to Nameless” sign on the highway, including a museum at the former J.T. Watts General Store.

One legend says when a resident applied for a post office for the area, he left the “name of town” blank. When the U.S. Postal Service returned the application,  “Nameless” was stamped on the form.
