Ixonia, WI.
Union, WI only existed for 5 years before it was decided to split Union into two towns. The first half was easily dubbed Concord, but naming the second half brought excessive arguing. To settle the citizens, they decided to put all the letters of the alphabet on pieces of paper and have a little girl, Mary Piper, pull the letters from a hat until a name could be made. The result was Ixonia.
