Dull, Boring and Bland
communities forge bond
LONDON (AP) — Dull
and Boring, meet Bland.
Dull, Scotland and Boring,
Oregon, two small commu-
nities united by unexciting
names, have joined forces
with a third: Bland Shire,
Australia.
Dull and Boring became
sister communities in 2012,
after a Scottish woman passed
through the U.S. town on a
cycling holiday. Officials say
the relationship has boosted
the profile of both places.
Dull officials on Friday
hosted the mayor of the
region of Bland Shire, New
South Wales, at a reception to
celebrate the third member of
a club dubbed the League of
Extraordinary Communities.
Bland Shire and Boring
are both named after early
residents, William Bland
and William Boring, while
Dull’s name may come from
a Gaelic word for meadow.
Boring has a population
of about 10,000 while Bland
Shire has about 6,000 people
and Dull is a hamlet with just
84 occupants.
Dennis Melloy, provost of
the Perth and Kinross region
that’s home to Dull, said the
relationship with Boring and
Bland had “created a real
feel-good factor for their
communities with quirky
names.”
And he said the alliance
could expand.
We’ve found Ordinary and
Dreary, both in America,
and I think they could
soon be part of it all.
— Dennis Melloy
“We’ve found Ordinary
and Dreary, both in America,
and I think they could soon
be part of it all,” he said.
