What is your hometown famous for?
My hometown invented the birth control pill. You're welcome, ladies.
(Yes, the entire town.)
My home town invited the reason for the birth control pill.
My home town's claim to fame is... Being the oldest place in this country that was inhabited, some 7000 years ago.
My hometown was the launch site of the first liquid-fueled rocket.... because it was a big field next to the city where it was invented.
My hometown invented the industrial revolution. I win.
^ Mine was the first place ever to have Cricket played with three stumps instead of two. Same kind of revolution, really.
My hometown sort of invented Texas (Steven Austin attended my high school). You're welcome.
My hometown was the first place to have automatic traffic lights
My hometown's claim to fame is that it was the birthplace of two people who helped shape our language into an official entity. One translated the Bible from Latin, which was the only language it was supposed to be written in until the protestant era, and the other one made the first version of the alphabet, which meant that we could actually write things down in a standardised manner. Obviously the latter example happened before the first one.

We also have the only nuclear power plant in the country.
Actually.. The car that beat the land speed world record several times with several different drivers (Notably Sir Striling Moss) Sunbeam, was designed and built in Wolverhampton!
My hometown is famous because it made me.
