Small American towns that everyone has heard of 1. Luckenbach, Texas 2. Roswell, New Mexico I hope that’s small enough - it has a population of almost 50k people now, which isn’t small in my book, but I think most folks think of it as a small town. ---

Small American towns that everyone has heard of 1. Luckenbach, Texas 2. 3. 4. Sleepy Hollow, New York 5. Mayberry is imsginary. There are about ten state capitals smaller than Roswell. La Grange is not a town “everyone has heard of”., even in Texas.’ Is this the best we can do? ---

Small American towns that everyone has heard of 1. Luckenbach, Texas 2. Sleepy Hollow, New York 3. Sturgis, South Dakota Covers 4 square miles, population (as per Wikipedia’s estimate) 6922. Well-known for its annual motorcycle rally, which was all over the news this past August. “Small” may be in the eye of the beholder, but I think Sturgis qualifies, in both area and population. ---
