town name

What places are called

A town name is the proper noun identifying a particular town or municipality.

Town names often derive from geographic features, founders, or historical events: The town name dates back to colonial times.

In casual use, town name can refer to any place name that sounds quintessentially small-town or provincial: It's got a real town name—Millbrook or Riverside or something.
