You've obviously never been to Hickory Corners, Michigan. Have you. They got their first telephone service in 1981!

Hooterville was a fictional town that was the setting of the American television sitcoms Petticoat Junction and Green Acres.
The location of Hooterville was never explicitly stated, but it was implied to be in or very near Illinois. In numerous episodes it was said that they were close to Chicago; in one Green Acres episode, Mr. Haney said Chicago was 300 miles (480 km) away. Another time it was said a nearby town was called Springfield, which is also the name of the capital city of Illinois. Hooterville may also have been in the Ozarks. One of the working titles for Petticoat Junction had been Ozark Widow (another had been Whistle Stop). The cast of another CBS show, The Beverly Hillbillies, had some connection with the characters in Petticoat Junction, when Cousin Pearl contacted Granny to deliver Betty Jo Bradley's baby; the Clampetts hail from southern Missouri. The name "Hooterville" is actually first used in episode No. 6 of The Beverly Hillbillies by supporting character Jasper "Jazzbo" Depew (Phil Gordon).
Hooterville can not be Illinois. In an episode of Petticoat Junction an old deed is found and it indicates that an ancestor of Bobby Jo's boyfriend, Orrin Pike owned the whole valley, meaning that Orrin now owns the vallley. It is later discoverved the deed was issued during the Civil war by a confederate governor, so it is null and void. This would indicate that Hooterville could not be located in Illinois. Hooterville could be in Missouri, it has a Springfield and Missouri had both a confederate and union government during the civil war. So if the confederate governor issued a deed in Missouri it would not be recognized after the war.

That is funny, my friend calls my hometown Hooterville, but that isn't really the name of it...
