36. Missouri: Tightwad
Situated in Henry County, this village features a population of under one hundred residents and a highly specific origin story. A postmaster in the early 1900s agreed on a price for a watermelon with a local store owner. When the merchant demanded extra money at checkout, the postmaster officially registered the town as Tightwad to shame him.
