Pretty simple, a fun fact about your town, or maybe your state. I don't care.

Anyways, my town has a hardened and privately owned underground bunker. It can apparently survive a 20-Kiloton Nuclear Blast

Here's a few I can think of of the top of my head:

• The first people started living in the area that would develop to become my town in around the 5th or 6th century. The name of my town was first mentioned in a piece of writing from the 7th century.
  
  
• It was the European Capital of Culture in 2018.
  
  
• It's the birthplace of world famous dancer and convicted spy Mata Hari (1876 - 1917), and world famous graphic artist M.C. Escher (1898 - 1972).
  
  
• The most famous landmark of my town is a leaning tower that leans about as much as the Tower of Pisa.

Other than that, not much I can think of. Not a whole lot happens here.

My town used to be called "Berlin", as in based in Germany's capital city Berlin. However due to World War I (with Germany being Canada's enemy) a referendum was taken in 1916 and its name was changed to Kitchener.

Tbh I prefer Berlin over Kitchener lol

Every city I’ve lived in was the capital of Louisiana at some point.

Likely the only reason that anyone would know my town is if they were in high school marching band on a national competitive level. Or that's what I like to think. I might be biased, though. But I do think it is unlikely for people outside of the state to know the town otherwise.

It's a suburb of a city that once called itself the oil capital of the world.

Haddington, Scotland

The name Haddington is Anglo-Saxon, dating from the sixth or seventh century AD.
The town, like the rest of the Lothian region, was ceded by King Edgar of England and became part of Scotland in the tenth century.
During the High Middle Ages, it was the fourth-biggest city in Scotland. Now, it has a population of 10,000 and is considered a small town.
