Vidalia

 

Vidalia  is a city located primarily in Toombs County, Georgia, United States

 

The town was incorporated on January 1, 1890. It is the largest city in Toombs County, but it is not the county seat

 

Vidalia is best known for its "sweet" onions. The Vidalia onion was first produced about 1931 when a farmer named Mose Coleman

 

Coleman discovered that the onions he produced were sweeter than other onions. Other farmers started growing the same crop, and in the 1940s the Vidalia onion became an item sold to tourists.

Vidalia onion growers have protected their brand, and today all onions labelled Vidalia must be grown in one of thirteen different counties in Georgia or in specific portions of seven other counties. Because of their taste and reputation, they are able to command an increased price in the marketplace.

You can hear it pronounced on Youtube. It's not actually the longest place name tho, but there's longer.

Ha--Town in Paro, Paro District, Bhutan

[Qapla]

That is certainly a bit more obscure of a place name than some one the list - however, since it follows Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch   you needed to name a place that begins with "M"
