Weird Towns

Hygiene, Colorado, USA

No, this is not a town where people…

 …shower and brush their teeth every three hours.

The unusual name is due to the fact that the town used to have a sanitarium for patients who had tuberculosis (TB).  The sanitarium was founded by Reverend Jacob S. Flory and his Church of Brethren.  The church was actually part of the sanitarium and is still standing in the town.
