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.

PANAMA!

Van Halen, spring break, population 35,600.

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 it’s famous for rhyming white schmamima.

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.
