Comical Corner, sometimes called Comical Corners, is a small, unincorporated community located in Pemberton Township, which is part of Burlington County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. An unincorporated community is a place where people live that doesn't have its own separate local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's part of a larger township.
Where is Comical Corner?
This community is found at the intersection of two roads: Pemberton Road, also known as County Route 630, and Arneys Mount Road, which is CR 668. This spot is just north of Pemberton Borough.
How Did It Get Its Name?
The name "Comical Corner" has an interesting story! It's believed that the original name might have been "Conical Corner." This makes sense because the intersection of the roads is a bit unusual, shaped almost like a cone.
However, over time, people might have misheard "Conical" as "Comical." This kind of mishearing is called a Mondegreen. So, what started as a description of the shape turned into a funnier name!
What's It Like There?
Comical Corner is a very rural area. This means it's mostly countryside, not a busy city. You'll find lots of farmland surrounding the intersection. The quiet, open spaces make it a peaceful place.
