I always wondered who ever gave cities their 'titles' and when, and if they're even offcial

My Town of Port Alberni, B.C is titled "Salmon Capital of the World. Its on a big sign as you enter. I was wondering if anyone else's city or town has a 'title'. Also it would be funny if we can find two people's cities with the SAME 'title' and to see who really owns it!!
