People not from the USA and have never visited: What is the smallest US city you know by name?

Like, can you name just a few large cities in certain regions, none at all, wtf is the USA, etc.
The USA is geopolitically isolated in a rather unique way on the global stage where this is an interesting perspective.
You're viewing a single thread.
A few smaller ones that pop into my head are Boulder, Amarillo, Centralia (does that still count?), Slab city (not sure that counts either), Salem and Providence. Looking it up, the smallest proper city of these is Salem with 44k.
I could also probably name a ton of European city names and there will be small towns in the USA with that name, but that would kind of be cheating.
Which Centralia? The one that inspired Silent Hill? Or the site of the anti-labor massacre?
I was thinking of the one with the cracked roads and the fire burning below. So that's probably the former? Haven't actually heard of the massacre I think.
That is indeed. The massacre happened in Centralia, WA on the other side of the continent.

And which salem... lol. (I know which you mean, but there are others too. Very few names in the US aren't used many times.)
The witchy one! Funnily enough, when I googled it for the population number, I found that there's also a Salem in my home state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany. I had never heard of that one, despite having been within like 15km of it.
I believe I heard about the german one by name but not sure.
