Idiotville en · PROPN

Etymology

From idiot + -ville. Approximately 0.5 miles up Idiot Creek was a site known as Ryan's Camp, a logging operation in the Tillamook Burn. It is said that only ‘an idiot’ would labor there due to its far-flung location, hence the name. The toponym was eventually applied to the stream.

Meanings

  1. A ghost town in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States.
