Dundee, Scotland, We were the first people to go to the arctic! Also were home to the Beano/The Danny (Dc Thomsons ) and a load of other stuff.
Pittsburgh has a shitload of bridges, won most livable city not too long ago, awesome amuesment park, NFL team with most super bowl wins. Pick one.
I live in the City of Salford. The part I'm from was actually where Christopher Eccleston was born and he still lives around the area. Other people include Karl Pilkinton, a few footballers and a handful of others. Parts of Salford are a bit of a shithole but the area I live in and was born in is nice. Theres other things as well such the bridge water canal, which was considered the first ever canal. So yeah, thats about it. It looks quite boring in retrospect....
my town is the subject of an snl cast members side show (portlandia) show may already be canceled.
Akron, Ohio used to be the rubber capital of the world and was a target on enemy maps because of it's importance during world war 2Karma168 said:

Östervåla, Sweden. You probably never heard of it.
Biggest claim? Well... back in the day we were famous all over Sweden for our fine furniture crafting skills (especially chairs, and we still have chair.... carving schools here).

Leyland, England [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyland,_Lancashire] - I think this is the place the 'mini' was first made/invented, and it's home to Leyland Motors, some famous motor company that used to rule the industry or some shit. We also made the pope mobile. Our contribution to the world... *sigh*
Patrick Stewart was born near where I live, also there is the National Coal mining museum for England down the road.
EDIT: Forgot to mention where I actually lived, it's Wakefield, England.

The main one for Farnham [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farnham] is probably that it supplied the roof beams in Westminster Hall, built in the Middle Ages and almost the only part of the Palace of Westminster (where Parliament meets) to survive the fire of 1834.
