Arkansas sure has a bunch of funny named towns in the Ozarks... Toad Suck and Oil Trough are a couple...
The origin of "Toad Suck" is not certain, but it is likely a corruption of some French name. "Ozark" comes from "Aux Arc," referring to a large loop made by the Arkansas River. Oil Trough may have gotten its name from a bear-fat rendering operation in the early 19th century.
