Hi Diane- Dogpatch is correct for the second part of the question! Do you have a guess for the first part as well?

Hi Don- I'm sorry but that is incorrect, although probably very appropriate! (:

Hi Diane- The question was taken from this source- http://livingston.migenweb.net/townships/hart_atwp.htm
"Over the years Parshallville has been affectionally refered to as "The Burg" and at times unaffectionally refered to as "Dogpatch."

Just curious- have you ever heard that?
