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.

But most of the world did not have the US education system. I'd say only some Americans have heard of Oregon City, and very few non Americans.
