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.
Fucking, Austria. Population of around 100 People. They renamed it to Fugging a few years ago
Reno.
For uhhh... Reno.
Probably Regina. And itβs famous for rhyming white schmamima.
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
Davos switzerland. (WEF) (10k) Mariana brazil. (Known for a ecological disaster). (60k)
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.
Darwin, Australia.
Famous for being bombed by the Japanese repeatedly during World War 2
I'd go with Port Arthur, Tasmania. 251 people from the 2016 census and the massacre is still burned into many people's memories.
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.
