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.

Not my country, but maybe Tipperary? It only has a population of 5k.

Blarney beats Tipperary in this scenario.

A small town/suburb in Cork. Also the home of the Blarney Stone and the origin of the word 'blarney'.

Not a bad reach for a town of around 2k population.

I kissed the blarney stone once, disgusting business. I lay down, half my body hanging out under the parapet, while a man held on to my legs. Reached up my head and put my lips on the stone. What was I thinking?!?

Mrs Doyle! Didn't expect to see you off Craggy Island.
