California!

I have personnal knowledge of at least eleven of those towns and I googled an unlikely on with positive results.
I'd say they're all in California.

Missouri

My off-the-top-of-my-head guess is Missouri. I haven't checked any resources.

I do have the advantage that I grew up as close to Missouri as is the residence of his bovineness.

I'm going with Missouri as well, given our resident bovines geographical biases.

Not California

Try Taos and Bolivar. If they are in California they aren't prominent enough to show in the first page of a Google search, but they are top of the search list in Missouri.

Kentucky?

I recognize a lot of those names for Kentucky. Not sure about all though.

Passaic should be added to the list.
My father was doing a road trip in the 80's and came across it.
check wiki

Not California

I'm throwing in the towel.
After I found Beverly Hills, Missouri, I could see it was a losing game.:-(

I have driven through or worked in about 25 of those towns in Kentucky.

It is Missouri

Those lucky people who had the pleasure of selecting place names in Missouri lacked imagination, with a few exceptions, of course. Based on the guesses above, similar issues come up in Georgia, Ohio and Kentucky, all of which pre-dated Missouri.
