ITT we post random small towns in our countries, and give some facts about them. Also, no cherrypicking. Even the most irrelevant shitholes are wanted.
Pic related is Korpilombolo, northern Sweden.
It has a population of 529. The name is believed to originate from either Finnish or Sami. Supposedly, korpi translates to "wasteland", and lombolo to "small lake".
During the industrialisation, the town became an important exporter of tar. There doesn't seem to be much to see there today, though, and the population has declined in recent years.
It's a small settlement on the Swedish-Finnish border, just to the southwest of the Torne river, which separates the two countries.
Like many other settlements along the Torne river, Karungi has both a Swedish and a Finnish part, each on opposing sides of the river. The Finnish counterpart is called "Karunki". Karunki has a population of 483 people, while Karungi only has 232 inhabitants.
Karungi has a wooden church from the late 18th century. Apart from that, it's pretty empty. The train line and station (pic related) has not been in use since 2012, and is slowly being reclaimed by nature.

Mellansel is a little shitty town thing rotting away somewhere in Angermannia
ITT only northern sweden has small towns
Jace King
really fucking boring in ontario and not worth talking about
Brandon Taylor
Northern sweden is only inhabited because ancient swedish kangs and noblemen wanted more taxes and land so they forced/tricked peasants there.

Point being?

This is "Real de Catorce", it has a population under 1,000 residents. At one point it had a population of 15,000 people but it was almost completely abandoned when the price of silver plummeted after 1900. It used to be a mining town.
Huichol people often gather around the town to eat Peyote in ceremonies.
Some (bad) films have been shot in there, "Bandidas" with Salma Hayek and "The Mexican" with Brad Pitt, among others.
Alexander Diaz
Its a shitty place to live unless its by the coast.
Jayden Phillips
well, the look of the road sucks
Oliver Diaz
It's only a matter of time before Empire of Dust gets a sequel set in Sweden. Most roads here are pretty bad. The infrastructure is generally pretty good, but the roads almost always have cracks and holes everywhere, even in urban areas.
Tyler Ramirez
This town has 11.000 habitants and it's the biggest town of the island. I live close to it. First known mention of the town was in 976 and this town has been invaded by a Flemish army once. It's been in "Orange" hands since 1572. There still are a lot of city gates and walls. Although we were neutral during WWI, the British bombed the town.

Pajala, northern Sweden.
Population: 1958.
Originally settled by forest finns in the late 16th. It's the hometown of the religious leader Lars Levi Laestadius, the founder of the laestadianist sect, which is still strong in northern Sweden.
Interestingly, there is a small village outside Pajala called "Kengis", another piece of evidence that Finns are indeed Mongols.
In Finnish korpi means a deep forest. Lombolo doesn't mean anything but some people up in Lapland have -lompolo in their surname, might be some sami thing.

>Population: 1958. man it looks more like "in 1958". tho your talking and description are interesting.

I'll be moving to a city of 13,000 this coming fall. It's definitely not as comfy or as small as some medieval town but it's nice going from a city of 1 million to a city just over ten thousand. I'll post pics if y'all want.
Jason Allen
steamboat springs, colorado

This is where I will be moving, I previously lived in Atlanta.
Covington, Georgia County: Newton Population: 13,347 Founded: 1822 Elevation: 741 ft (226 m)
After ownership by the Creek Indians, it was settled and incorporated in 1822.
The city was named after US Brigadier General and State Congressman Leonard Covington, who was a hero of The War of 1812.
During Sherman's March to the Sea, in 1864, most of the town was razed however a handful of antebellum structures survived.
It is known for: The Vampire Diaries, Duke of Hazard and In the Heat of the Night, all filmed on location in Covington.
Personal Opinion: It will be interesting for me to go from a major city to one that supports a single town center with a definite culture and history.

3 (three) people died. Never forget!

My hometown, Vosne-Romanée 372 inhabitants, known for the vineyards who gives the most expensives wines in the world. Originally the name of the village was just Vosne but they add "Romanée" because of Romanée-Conti, a famous domaine.
Andrew Young
Well, thank you. It's a shame that there are no other tourists than Germans here.

Caleb Baker
This is a small town of about 4000 called De Rijp. It's in the middle of just miles of grassland and absolutely nothing else. I went there once by bike from my own hometown, it's quite scenic and hasn't been ruined as much by some ugly 50's housing projects like so many other towns have.

Echternach is the place where the first christian missionary came to luxembourg and opened a church
Nathan Mitchell
Puerto Williams, 1900 est.
Aside from being the most southern town in the world and tourism, nothing happens there.
Landon Gray
This is Legal, Alberta It's about 20-30 minutes from my city. It's locally known as the French mural capital of Canada.
I only know it because i always pass by to take a piss at the wheelers store when I'm heading out to visit senpai on the reserve
Eli Cooper
Willcox, Arizona
It's a little Cochise County desert town next to a big salt flat called Willcox Playa
Newton County, I think Merle Haggard mentioned it in the song Grandma Harp.

top kek you guys are cool, ye I was thinking of pripyat
ukrainbros should post pripyat lol
Robert Ortiz
>Legal, Alberta Is it over 18 years old?
Jeremiah Richardson
IIRC, Pripyat was considered a pretty good place to live before they got CHERNOBYL'd. It was where they gathered many of their top scientists and engineers, after all.
Even in that pic, Pripyat looks comfy as fuck (it's before the accident, isn't it?).
Evan Peterson
Nain, labrador. In the middle of fucking no where just look it up on Google maps.
Dominic Edwards
i would love to annex ukraine and belarus only for the untouched good looking places. but knowing people in my country it would be restored immediately and lose its charm
Jeremiah Kelly
>pic related Is legal
Literally. Just took this now. That light is a house some 200m away in legal. Just Passed it :^)
Isaac Gonzalez
It's illegal in Alberta to take photos of lights on houses.
Parker Moore

Asher King
Berlin, Maryland. Population 4,485.
Spent the summer here with all my close friends and my prom date after high school. Only downside is proximity to Ocean City.
Easton Rogers
This is my favorite small town that I've been to, though. Jerome, Arizona, population 451. Driving down the sloped roads was an experience, but the bars were cool and the people love to tell you about their little mining town.
