Over The Years,

there has often been the challenge to fine a place with the longest name,

Bangkok wining with its name in Thai, กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยา มหาดิลกภพ นพรัตนราชธานีบูรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์มหาสถาน อมรพิมานอวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์, translated into English as City of angels, great city of immortals, magnificent city of the nine gems, seat of the king, city of royal palaces, home of gods incarnate, erected by Visvakarman at Indra's behest, 

but how about a town or city with the shortest name? well I guess the picturesque village above wins with the name of the Norwegian town of Å, the Lofoten islands of Nordland are among the most scenic places on earth, vertical spires of glacially carved granite rise from the Norwegian Sea 100 miles north of the Arctic Sea—but the weather is surprisingly mild, due to the Gulf Stream, tourists flock to Lofoten every summer to scale its mountains, admire its quaint red fishing villages, and enjoy its 24 hours of sunshine, just a small point the name is pronunced 'aw'. but of course there may be a town with a shorter name out there.
