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.
Probably Regina. And itβs famous for rhyming white schmamima.
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.
Tilt Cove in Newfoundland. 5 whole people.
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.
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.
