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.

I’m in the US and I can’t say I’d heard of Oregon City before this post…

I thought the Oregon Trail was a pretty standard part of US history curriculum.

From US, played Oregon trail for hundreds of hours, didn't remember Oregon City.

Nantucket Massachusetts 10k

Aspen Colorado 7k

Jackson Hole Wyoming 10k

Key West Florida 25k

Probably all more famous and smaller population.
