In the United States, I’d probably name Oregon City, the famous end of the Oregon Trail and the first city founded west of the Rocky Mountains during the pioneer era. Its population is only 37,000.
In France it might be Y (population : 89), famous for having a one-letter name. Far from “anyone can still instantly recognise the name” but still probably much more well-known than any other town this size.
Otherwise idk, feels like the only french city everyone would instantly recognise the name of is Paris tbh.
Tilt Cove in Newfoundland. 5 whole people.
Germany:
Bielefeld. Everyone recognizes the name, it’s marked on all maps, officially it has a football club.
But in reality, it doesn’t even exist.In the US it must be Springfield because there’s so fucking many of them that they
namedmade a TV show after it.Stupid sexy autocorrect.
named a TV show after it
The Springfields?
Okay, I spilled my coffee. I’ll be giggling all day.
As someone in the US - I have absolutely zero recognition of the town of Oregon City. All I know about the Oregon trail is a bunch of people died from starvation and dysentery
Don’t forget being lost in River crossings.
In the UK it’s got to be the City of London. Famous for being an ancient city established by the Romans and awash with history, now one of the world’s biggest financial centers with a modern skyline of famously distinctive skyscrapers. It’s home to some world-famous landmarks like Saint Paul’s Cathedral and Tower Bridge, and has a population of about 10,000.
The City of London is not to be confused with London, London, London or London.
Fucking, Austria. Population of around 100 People. They renamed it to Fugging a few years ago
Hell, Michigan in the US definitely has a shot.
Wales has St. Davids - population c.1,750
Probably Regina. And it’s famous for rhyming white schmamima.
Reno.
For uhhh… Reno.
Davos switzerland. (WEF) (10k) Mariana brazil. (Known for a ecological disaster). (60k)
Probably Dildo, Newfoundland.
You know why.
Edit: Actually, I think Dawson City is smaller. It’s famous for being a big city back during the gold rush, despite being up near the arctic circle.
The smallest Indian city that (almost) all Indians would know would be the hill resort of Shimla (pop 170,000). However, this is because a place is expected to have a population of about 100,000 to be declared a ‘city’, so for example New Delhi is only a town.
Well there are only really two where I’m at. Smallest one probably most well known for being the setting for a comedy TV show or it’s wall.
The smallest settlement listed on Wikipedia is known for a bridge.
