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.

    Chicken, Alaska. Population: 12
    I’d argue that everyone recognises the word “Chicken”.

    Fun fact: The settlers wanted to name their town “Ptarmigan” after the birds that were abundant in the area.
    But none of them knew the correct spelling, and they didn’t want to embarass themselves.
