Panther Burn
According to local folklore, this strange name came about after a group of residents trapped and burned a panther that was wreaking havoc on the community; however, this story has been proven to be false.
Turns out, “burn,” was once a common term for stream or brook, so the name most likely originated from a nearby water source.

Hot Coffee
An inn was built, and in 1870, L.J. Davis built a store and hung a coffee pot over his door, advertising "the best hot coffee around". His coffee was made from pure spring water and New Orleans beans, and molasses drippings for sweetener. He never served cream with his coffee, believing it ruined the taste. Local politicians would visit Davis' store and buy coffee for constituents and passing travelers. The popularity of Davis' coffee led to the name of the community. Hot Coffee has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.
