MODERATORS
For the US, I'd say a pretty strong contender is Woodstock, NY, with a population of around 6,000, and of course famous for the music festival of the same name (even though the actual festival was something like 60 miles away in Bethel)
This is probably the most iconic for sure.
A good number of these are examples where most people don't actually know that the name comes from a town. I feel like they shouldn't count.
