Is this place actually real?

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This place shows up on several Unusual Town Name lists but after looking for it, I'm not convinced this is actually a real hamlet. There are no addresses for it, and all the geotags take me to the hamlet Pond Eddy, New York instead. There is Handsome Eddy Rd. in neighboring Shohola, Pennsylvania that just leads to a small body of water on the state border, as well as a very old picture labeled Handsome Eddy Farm in Barryville, New York which no longer seems to exist. My best guess is Handsome Eddy either referred to the aforementioned small pond in Shohola, the old farm's plot of land specifically, some other obscure nearby landmark, or else was an alternative/previous name of Pond Eddy that is no longer in use. 2600:4040:565D:5A00:C87D:AC7:AE3E:ABB (talk) 15:53, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
