Brighton in England.
Statistically we have the most followers of the Jedi religion in England, have the most auto-asphyxiated (spelling?) deaths in the country AND we're possibly the gay capital of the UK (which is probably what it's most known for).
Oddly enough, I'm making none of that up.

Well I live in Copenhagen, which is a decent-sized city, and not a small town, but anyway.
Apparently, it's famous for just being a nice place to live. Good, although a bit boring.

"Copenhagen has repeatedly been recognized as one of the cities with the best quality of life and in 2008 it was singled out as the Most Liveable City in the World by international lifestyle magazine Monocle on their Top 25 Most Liveable Cities 2008 list. It is also considered one of the world's most environmentally friendly cities with the water in the inner harbor being so clean that it can be used for swimming and 36% of all citizens commuting to work by bicycle, every day bicycling a total of 1.1 million km."

We're know as the Christmas city, and were once the worlds best creators of steel. Don't believe me? The earthquake in San Fransisco, the steel used on one half of the bridge held it, the other half fell into the water, the cheap steel from japan.

Ever head "Women and Children first?"
That is called the Birkenhead drill, and is named the first ship which used the drill. That ship is in turn named after my town (the town it was built).
