It also contained a manor where popes could take some time off. Cantalupo is one of a few places of similar name that has been suggested as the etymology of 'cantaloupe'.

The village's name may be Latin for 'singing wolf', though that origin is admittedly apocryphal.

Answer: Gouda

Gouda was a low-lying swampy area where peat was once harvested. Over time, canals and a harbor were built, and it became a major trading point between Belgium and France.

There was a dramatic increase in the production of Champagne champagne during the 19th century.

It was born out of necessity as lime and sugar were abundant in Cuba, and was eventually introduced to America.
