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.

Winnipeg, Canada (pop. 850k) has a famous namesake in Winnie the Pooh (who was named after Winnipeg) and has been in the Simpsons.

The Simpsons - That's it, back to Winnipeg!

850k isn't really small though.

It's still small for a city, especially a capital city. However, it's bigger than Regina ๐Ÿ˜„

Your "small city" has more people than 5 US states

[-] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

It has more people than anywhere that has less people.

It's about the same population as San Francisco.

Someone won a trip to San Fransico on LMAD yesterday. My hat is a boot.
