In Slovenia I believe Sevnica (4.5k population) - home town of Melania Trump - would be the smallest most recognizable place by the world.
But Slovenia is small enough even Kostanjevica na Krki with 802 or Vače with 421 population is easily recognizable by Slovenians.
Puerto Hurraco. Population 100. Everybody in Spain recognises its name because of a shooting that got burned into the collective mind.
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.
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.
Probably Dildo, Newfoundland.
You know why.
Edit: Actually, I think Dawson City is smaller. It's famous for being a big city back during the gold rush, despite being up near the arctic circle.
For Mexico, maybe Tecate, which is a city in the state of Baja California, and its know for a beer of the same name. Cant really think of anything that is smaller and more famous.
Well there are only really two where I'm at. Smallest one probably most well known for being the setting for a comedy TV show or it's wall.
The smallest settlement listed on Wikipedia is known for a bridge.
