Town in the middle of nowhere in northern Colombia founded by a Cartagenese Spaniard and was one of the few places to remain loyal to the Spanish crown after the declaration of independence.
It led a small rebellion but was defeated by the independentists forces and all pro-Spain rebels were executed in the main square.
Indians hunting and fishing
French show up and trade for furs
British kick them out
Americans kick out the British
Build lots of cars
In WWII build lots of weapons
Highest per capita income on the planet
Blacks move in
Whites move out
Becomes a 3rd whole ghetto
A river village that got rich off the river trade.
Because of good income and tranportation routes it became the new capital of the feudal ownership, and later - the country.
Eventually the bishop has moved there, the head of the country has declared himself a supreme ruler.
The city was catching flame for several times, burned by mongols, captured by poles, burned again by french and bombed by germans.
The first (iirc) town in the uk to industrialise the thread trade and associated cloth trades. One of the first towns to lose industries to globalisation starting in the early 20th century. Now a post-industrial shithole full of junkies and white n-words.

Not that much interesting to be honest. I just read the history section on Wikipedia.
Small basin full of peaceful Indians that mostly fished.
Became the site of a Mission and was inhabited by baptized Indians for a while.
Eventually it grew into a ranching community until it was bought by entrepreneurs from the east and turned into one of the largest cities in the country.
Now it's a shithole full of gangs and homelessness.

It was founded by German settlers who saw some weird lights in a swamp and thought it was a star. It eventually grew into a town. Also one of our former military dictators grew up here, and a big port was built back in the seventies.
Founded by a ku klux klan dragon and n-words still tried to move in

Romans built a fort nearby and the post-roman settlers decided to use the name for their city even though it was quite a distance away
Destroyed by the Vikings, refounded by a merchant later on
Grew in importance through the middle ages, a castle was built in the renaissance period.
City's coat of arms looks almost muslim since it was stolen from the near east by a king who went on crusade and then gave it to us.
Later became an important base for the Navy, later became an important industrial town as well.
Was bombed and damaged heavily in ww2 due to said naval base and industrial importance.

Colloquially known for being named after two economists, when in actuality, it just stole the name of a nearby village, built due to existing rail connections in an attempt to overcome London's growing population in the 70's.
Charles of Anjou builds small fortified town over a thousand year old pelasgian village in the italian appenines
Literally nothing happens for 500 years until an earthquake destroys it in the 1700s, gets rebuilt, then nothing happens again
Founded by the Romans as a colony for retired soldiers, situated on the main north-south road of the country. Ideal location for a fortress, as there is a steep hill surrounded by flatlands for miles. Centuries later, a famous medieval king ordered a fortress to be constructed here due to said hill, clearing the old houses to build it. My city was also made the centre of its episcopal diocese, as the old cathedral town had been very small and unimportant. The new cathedral would grow a great deal over the centuries, and is now one of the largest in the country. Through the rest of the middle ages, the city came to be known for its wool, and especially for its dyeworks. A certain shade of green is named after the place name. Thereafter, the city's influence declined, as it never became very large. There was some industrial output, mainly in locomotives, agricultural machinery and traction engines. The first ever combat tanks were designed and built in this city, deployed in WW1. Not much of note has happened since.
Czechs came here for a better life, and founded a lumber camp. As lumber is no longer rare, we've been hemorrhaging population for the past 120 years. The deep south equivalent of a boomtown.
There were strikingly few natives when the white man rolled in (about 500 across 2 or 3 counties). Upstart rancher from Massachusetts came to the area and set up a ranch without much hassle. At the same time, the Transcontinental Railroad made the locality a stop, and soon granite mining also popped up as a local industry. The wealth of these two industries allowed people to settle down and grow. In 1876, the locals decided the Chinese ghetto had gotten a little too big and pogrom'd them out of existence. Nowadays all we're known for is having really good schools. The ranchers tomb is still a popular place for teenagers to drink to this day.
It began as a glorified trading post in America's northwest frontier in the mid 1800s. The terminus of the Oregon Trail had gotten pretty crowded, and newcomers wanted to be closer to the two major rivers in the area. So they founded a new settlement that lay at their confluence, which was also about halfway between the original settlement and the local fort. To do this they had to clear a section of oak forest, which is why for the first few years of its existence, this settlement was simply called "the clearing" or else "stumptown". It finally got its current name when it grew to enough size and importance (due to its advantageous position for trade) that they should incorporate it into a city. The two wealthiest men who owned most of the land flipped a coin to decide whose hometown they'd name it after. As they were both New Englanders, it was always going to share a name of a northeastern port city regardless of the outcome.

There was a plague in the 18th century. Then it had a bunch of shoemakers.
I found a story of a Canadian immigrant who lived here that signed up with the Union and ended up getting caught trying to desert over to the Confederates, and was executed.
It received its name because when it was settled the first settlers realized that no one was getting malaria which was extremely common in the rest of the continent and they assumed that it was because there was something special in the air. It was actually because of its latitude the city was outside the range of the mosquitos that spread it.
Hyper-easy mode: Built on top of an old church literally no one cared about until revisionism nearly a century later, only exists because an army general built a highway through it to run his illegal contraband to and from a Southern neighbor.

My grandpa managed a few of the plastic factories. Should've mentioned it's the birthplace of the lawn flamingo (yes the designer was from Bitchburg but where do you think they were made?).
Bingo. I consider the lawn flamingo to be under plastic fact but not everyone was sent to the plastic museum on field trips at least twice a year and knows plastics trivia.
Fitchburg is great if you want to feel sad of get shot at but I really feel as if they should just fence in the whole town.

Absolutely nothing ever happened here except it was the farthest east that a Japanese fu-go balloon bomb drifted in 1945, landing in a farmer’s field and starting a small fire, covered up by authorities who didn’t want to Japs to know if their plan was working or not.

Founded on Indian lands in the North West territory just after the war of 1812.
Lincoln gave a speech here supporting John C. Freemont's campaign in the first Republican presidential race.
Was mostly pretty boring but we made a shit fuck ton of paper, nearly every yellow taxi cab used in New York, and early electric guitars.
Also had some pharmaceutical companies that started here. The county as a whole was the largest supplier of celery for a while. Also a (decently) well known University.
Most people would probably know us from a theme song to a certain children's cartoon.
The French named it after a tree trunk painted with animal blood. The Spanish captured a British fort here during the American Revolution, it was taken from the Spanish as part of a short lived independent republic, and there was a battle during the Civil War. Discovery of oil in the region led to massive petrochemical plants and the world’s largest oil refinery at the time. Huey Long is buried here.

It's one of the oldest towns in Europe, the region it has been habitated for more than 5000 years, it was a well developped town when the Romans conquered this region, as well as other people after the collpase of the Roman Empire. In the 15th century it became the cultural capital of the nation, with some authors and theater authors having congregated here, the King and the court enjoyed spending thime there, and so a palace was built for that purpose, as well as many other noblemen builted palaces here.
It is a UNESCO heritage site, as it a city-museum, the mediaval walls still exist, there's ruins of a roman temple, a few km outside there's a huge neolithic structure, there's churches from all architechture styles: romanesque, gothic, renaissance, baroque, and pretty much everything has to be untouched. It is very expensive to live here, and it's completely forbidden to build modern architechture.

Created as a cinnabar mining town, eventually expanded into various industries and is an important city today.
Some of the earliest farming in my country, the Swedes built a castle there, and it's literally only known for that castle.
It should be added there's a tonne of history here, it's just that nobody outside the town knows it.

There was a plague in the 18th century. Then it had a bunch of shoemakers.
I found a story of a Canadian immigrant who lived here that signed up with the Union and ended up getting caught trying to desert over to the Confederates, and was executed.
This thread doesn't really work for small towns.
Oh wait, I read OP as HOME town.
The one I live in now is a LOT more interesting. Too interesting to spend time writing about.
Large metropolitan area in arid climate with population growth driven by retirees moving from cold weather states, often for medical reasons.

Snowballs at Santa
It received its name because when it was settled the first settlers realized that no one was getting malaria which was extremely common in the rest of the continent and they assumed that it was because there was something special in the air. It was actually because of its latitude the city was outside the range of the mosquitos that spread it.
No.
There was a battle where all the good guys were wiped out by a napoleon larper, do you remember?

Hyper-easy mode: Built on top of an old church literally no one cared about until revisionism nearly a century later, only exists because an army general built a highway through it to run his illegal contraband to and from a Southern neighbor.

Amherst, and Emily Dickinson is a great poet and goth NEET goddess. She lived into her fifties, her father was long dead, and it was her brother’s mistress and his wife (Em’s secret lesbian crush) that made her famous.
Johnny Appleseed, Plastic, Rivals with shitter Ghetto town over
Leominster MA
My grandpa managed a few of the plastic factories. Should've mentioned it's the birthplace of the lawn flamingo (yes the designer was from Bitchburg but where do you think they were made?).
Bingo. I consider the lawn flamingo to be under plastic fact but not everyone was sent to the plastic museum on field trips at least twice a year and knows plastics trivia.
Fitchburg is great if you want to feel sad of get shot at but I really feel as if they should just fence in the whole town.

Absolutely nothing ever happened here except it was the farthest east that a Japanese fu-go balloon bomb drifted in 1945, landing in a farmer’s field and starting a small fire, covered up by authorities who didn’t want to Japs to know if their plan was working or not.

Lincoln gave a speech here supporting John C. Freemont's campaign in the first Republican presidential race.
Was mostly pretty boring but we made a shit fuck ton of paper, nearly every yellow taxi cab used in New York, and early electric guitars.
Also had some pharmaceutical companies that started here. The county as a whole was the largest supplier of celery for a while. Also a (decently) well known University.
Most people would probably know us from a theme song to a certain children's cartoon.
Kalamazoo
The French named it after a tree trunk painted with animal blood. The Spanish captured a British fort here during the American Revolution, it was taken from the Spanish as part of a short lived independent republic, and there was a battle during the Civil War. Discovery of oil in the region led to massive petrochemical plants and the world’s largest oil refinery at the time. Huey Long is buried here.

It's one of the oldest towns in Europe, the region it has been habitated for more than 5000 years, it was a well developped town when the Romans conquered this region, as well as other people after the collpase of the Roman Empire. In the 15th century it became the cultural capital of the nation, with some authors and theater authors having congregated here, the King and the court enjoyed spending thime there, and so a palace was built for that purpose, as well as many other noblemen builted palaces here.
It is a UNESCO heritage site, as it a city-museum, the mediaval walls still exist, there's ruins of a roman temple, a few km outside there's a huge neolithic structure, there's churches from all architechture styles: romanesque, gothic, renaissance, baroque, and pretty much everything has to be untouched. It is very expensive to live here, and it's completely forbidden to build modern architechture.
