Roswell, NM comes to mind. Tiny and yet most people will think of UFOs when they hear the name.
I can't think of a smaller city in the US that fits "so many have heard of it"
Tombstone comes to mind as well
Dodge City, maybe
Waco, TX for anyone around in the 90s
I was gonna say Albuquerque, because of the name itself, the weird Al song and Breaking Bad, but Roswell is way tinier.
don't forget being famous for wrong turns
