Uncommon Town Names; Lizard Lick, North Carolina My town name is Lizard Lick. In this paper I am going to be telling you things about this town, why people should move

there, and all the fun facts about the town. My name is Mark Perry, and I will be giving you a short informational writing on

why people should come here. Some of the reasons that Lizard Lick has such a unique name, is that it goes along with

towns like Duck, Toast, and Whynot are some weird names, but they all have a interesting and educational story behind

them. Lizard Lick is in central North Carolina residing in Wake County with a zip code of 27591. It is about 20 miles east of

Raleigh, the state capital. Lizard Lick became the landmark milestone for the 1,00th Credit Union ATM in existence. In

attendance of that occurrence were Lizard Lick's “Mayor” Charles Wood and Wendell's town commissioner Sid Baynes,

were actually the ones who did the ribbon-cutting. The unofficial population of Lizard Lick is 1,300 people. They are actually the home of a Country Music Hall of Famer who goes the name of Connie B. Gay. There are multiple stories behind the naming of Lizard Lick, but the one I've heard the most, is that one day a man drove by and saw a whole lot of lizards sitting and licking themselves on a picket fence, so he one day became a resident, went to a town meeting and the town was dubbed Lizard Lick, so it stayed. Lizard Lick is also the home of a famous TV show on channel 41, called “Lizard Lick Towing” where a real Towing company in Lizard Lick runs a repossession company and have a lot of wild rides. It has brought them a lot of attention most wanted, but some unwanted with the permanent residents wanting to have a “small town feeling” and not have a sprawling town. Lastly, with all of the information I have given you on this town, I am now requesting you come to this town, to enjoy all of the fun and beauty of Lizard Lick. Have a good day.
