Ink, Missouri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rumour has it that Ink, a small hamlet in Shannon County, Missouri, got its name in 1886 at a time when the Post Office Department had sent a directive to the states that new post office names should be as short as possible, preferably with only three letters. In the course of a protracted town meeting on the matter, someone spilled a bottle of ink and that served as inspiration for the town name.
