In Slovenia I believe Sevnica (4.5k population) - home town of Melania Trump - would be the smallest most recognizable place by the world.
But Slovenia is small enough even Kostanjevica na Krki with 802 or VaΔe with 421 population is easily recognizable by Slovenians.
Probably Regina. And itβs famous for rhyming white schmamima.
Aramoana here in New Zealand. It has a population in the low hundreds and it is famous for a horrible massacre in 1990. The cops here don't usually have guns and in a little place like that there are often only a handful of police that are anywhere in the general region.
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.
Bobcaygeon, population 3,500.
I think The Tragically Hip are mostly famous with Canadians? Did they have much international success?
Edit: I thought the question meant people around the world but I guess it could also mean just the people in your own country..
I legitimately though Oregon was a State, I didn't know it was also a city.
From my country I'm going to be generous and say Barcelona. Second biggest city here. I doubt next bigger cities are universally known.
I think Seville and Pamplona are well known, for the Barber of Seville and the running of the bulls respectively.
For Mexico, maybe Tecate, which is a city in the state of Baja California, and its know for a beer of the same name. Cant really think of anything that is smaller and more famous.
