Legends claim the town was named after some old oil rig workers.

Witwicky is a small town in Pennsylvania, located in a remote area close to at least one state forest. Notable nearby locations include Dino-Mite Quarry, Witwicky Donuts, and Witwicky Raceway. Unbeknownst to most inhabitants, the area also features many underground attractions, such as the top secret headquarters of G.H.O.S.T. and a cave housing the Emberstone. As such, the town has more than its fair share of giant robot combat occurring at any one time.
