Honestly, I never heard of this city before I moved here five years ago. Never knew it existed. If anyone mentioned the Kentucky Derby or any big city in Kentucky I always thought they meant Lexington or one of Cincinnati's suburbs.

Some smaller ones would be...
Greenville, SC
Unfortunately anyone who has had a bill collector after them has seen the name Greenville over and over and over......Lol. 7 years later, I still see that city name come tax season and they send out their annual collection letters.
Rochester, NY is the "forgotten" upstate city/metro. People know Buffalo because of the wings, bills, and sabers; and Syracuse for SU/the Orange. Rochester doesn't have professional or college sports teams. There's obviously the big name local companies of Kodak, Xerox, and Bausch&Lomb; historical figures like Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass....but those don't quite have the same national spot-lite (save for Kodak's bankruptcy). Weather Chanel always shows either Buffalo or Syracuse an their maps; but not the ROC.
Similar phenomenon in NC with everyone known about Charlotte and Raleigh/Research Triangle....but few are familiar with Greensboro/Triad.
I think the only one in Colorado over 200K is Aurora, and I'm sure you've heard of that!
I know Aurora exists, but it's about as faceless as somewhere like Mesa, or Henderson, Nevada. The huge sun-belt suburbs are really their own thing, and would never have existed in the Northeast or large parts of the Midwest, because all of the land would have already been incorporated into towns and the suburban area would have been split up among many tiny municipalities.

You don't know what happened in Aurora?
Aurora is incorporated. It is a city. I don't get your point.
Philadelphia. I haven't heard anything about it since Rocky came out.
