History Main / Premiseville

* ''WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated'', a series of {{Animated Music Videos}} with plenty of MickeyMousing, takes place in and around the town of Tempo, Texas.

* Retroville from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron'' as the town is a RetroUniverse.

** In ''VideoGame/TheSimsMedieval'', you can name your own kingdom whatever you like, but the other territories in the world are Premisevilles. For example, pirates come from [[TalkLikeAPirate Aarbyville]] and craftsmen come from, well, Crafthole. Some are a ''little'' more subtle; adventurers come from Advorton and [[OurElvesAreBetter elves]] from Effenmont.

** ''VideoGame/TheSims2'' ships with pre-packaged towns Pleasantview (much like Film/{{Pleasantville}} above), Strangetown (AlienAbduction and {{Mad Scientist}}s) and Veronaville (based on Creator/WilliamShakespeare plays). Later expansions introduce other {{Premiseville}} neighborhoods with themes appropriate to the expansion's new functionality.

* ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'': Goat Village is, as the name implies, a village populated by goats.

* ''Film/{{Dogville}}''. There's a dog. Get it? Well, also the people act rather base. Rather, [[spoiler:as Grace's father would say,]] like dogs, as it were.

** ''The Sims 2'' ships with pre-packaged towns Pleasantview (much like Film/{{Pleasantville}} above), Strangetown (AlienAbduction and {{Mad Scientist}}s) and Veronaville (based on Creator/WilliamShakespeare plays). Later expansions introduce other {{Premiseville}} neighborhoods with themes appropriate to the expansion's new functionality.
** ''The Sims 3'' has the downloadable alternate city Riverview, which is distinguished from the default city of Sunset Valley by the big river running through it, and the [[GangplankGalleon pirate-themed]] town of Barnacle Bay. The ''Ambitions'' expansion ships with Twinbrook, which has a ''forked'' river running through it.

* In the ''Cake Mania'' series the town where the bakery is located is called Bakersfield.

* Ponyland from ''Franchise/MyLittlePony''

Sometimes a name is chosen against the theme of the show, which is still an example of this trope rather than a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] because it is still using this trope but in an ironic manner. The most famous example of this would be Sunnydale in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.

Welcome to Premiseville, Fictionland, where every city has a MeaningfulName. In certain works, especially kids shows or more whimsical SpeculativeFiction the CityOfAdventure, the place where our heroes live has a name that fits the premise, feel or ethos of the show.

For example, Dimmsdale in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' is well-named because the residents of said city are quite stupid by and large. Soap City in ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins'' is also well named as the residents are obsessed with cleanliness to a frankly scary degree (and there's a soap factory there). Ponyland (as well as Ponyville) from the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony'' series is named such because its inhabitants are all... well, you can probably figure it out by yourself...

* Twilight Town from ''KingdomHearts'' is where it is always early evening. Likewise Traverse Town, which is a common hub for travel between worlds.

* And before that, there was Duckburg in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales''... and before even that, in the comics it was based on.

* ''Franchise/ProfessorLayton''

* DC:

* Frostbite Falls from ''WesternAnimtion/RockyAndBullwinkle'', which is cold.

* Soap City from ''TheCrampTwins'', probably called that in-universe because of the local soap factory. It fits because of the cleanliness obsession the residents (especially Mrs. Cramp) almost all have.

* Miseryville of ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' is the anti-version of this trope, as the whole premise is that Jimmy can't be made miserable.

** Equestria from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
*** Almost all town names in FIM is generally horse related names, with the exceptions being appleloosa, which depends on it's apple orchards to survive, and cloudsdale, which is a city in the sky made of...well...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOntheTin clouds]]. Except that Appleloosa (Appaloosa) and Cloudsdale (Clydesdale) also reference horses, making this also FlintstoneTheming.

* Most of ''TeamUmizoomi'' takes place in Umi City.

* RainbowBrite lives, appropriately enough, in Rainbowland.

* Many ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' places are examples. Examples include "Lethal Lava Land", "Forest of Illusion", "Bianco Hills", "Honeyhive Galaxy", "Rogueport", "Dry Dry Desert", etc. Isle Delphino is an interesting one -- it's got nothing to do with dolphins, but it's shaped like one.

* 90% of all Facebook games made by Zynga, Inc. follow this trope. The most notorious is ''VideoGame/FarmVille'', but they also have VideoGame/FrontierVille, PetVille, [=CityVille=], [=CastleVille=], etc.
