Katie Crotch road is a street in Maine and it's unknown how it got its name.

One thing is for sure, however: Embden in Somerset County spends hundreds of dollars annually to replace stolen street signs reading,' Katie Crotch RD.'

The Morning Sentinel reports a referendum to rename Katie Crotch Road to Cadie Road was considered in Embden in Somerset County in an attempt to save money.

Residents sorted out the matter with a vote Friday and a town meeting Saturday.

'You put it up and in a week’s time it’s down again,' Charles Taylor of the town’s Board of Selectmen told the paper.

'You would think every dorm room in the state of Maine should have one by now.'

Katie Crotch Road sits off Route 16 connecting Embden and New Portland. It's not clear how it got its name but there are several legends as to why it's called what it is.

'I have never found anything written down about the Katie Crotch Road,'Marilyn Gorman, 78, who has researched the area’s history as secretary and treasurer of the New Portland Historical Society, told the Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel in 2012.

The most logical explanation Gorman said she heard came from Harold 'Bucky' Emery, who was ahead of her in school.

Emery said that his father told him a family with the last name Katie used to live on the road and that the crotch in the name refers to the 'v shape' of the road.

'Where the house would have sat would have been in the middle of what you’d call the crotch,' she said. 'If that part of it is true.'

Another town legend is that a girl named Katie who lived at the home would sit on the porch without any underwear on. Gorman said she believes most of the stories are made up.

A previous motion to rename the street to Katie Road failed in 2012.
