Cartoons that mention/depict your locale?

Quebec City was shown once or twice in Delilah & Julius, never as the main location but usually for the mission seen before the opening. Most of the time it was just a few streets with very little to do with the real deal.

I seem to recall an episode of Wacky Races supposedly set in my province...only it was just a bunch of igloos and cold jokes >.>

Beyond that I'm surprised our famous Chateau hasn't turned up more often.

I get more mileage out of the movie Taking Lives and the game Project Gotham Racing 4.
 
I've lived my entire life (except for college) in Colorado.... So South Park is very near and dear to my heart. My hometown of Fort Collins has been visited in two episodes, (Scott Tenorman Must Die and the little league baseball episode) and I'm always thrilled to see a familiar landmark, location, or local character on the show. It happens pretty often.

There was Kim Possible episode (where Ron becomes a millionaire) where Kim makes an offhand remark that Ron could buy the city of Denver. That always struck me as a little odd. But then again, the show does take place in the imaginary city of Middleton, and DC comics also has an imaginary city called Middleton, located in Colorado, so with some twisted cross-over logic...

Lastly, my Dad hails from Wisconsin, and we still have family living up there, all of whom are Packer fans. So when I saw a Packer reference in Danny Phanotm (a show I usually pay no mind to) I laughed a lot, and I just had to watch that episode. Poor Vlad...
 
Freakazoid took place in Washington DC, though very few episodes made use of the setting (First one that comes to mind is a fight at Smithsonian museums in the Relax-O-Vision episodes).
 
In the episode when Homer gets a new mortgage to help out Moe, he pointed out the locale where the server is from . . . Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Noteworthy Useless Fact: Although the Fox affiliate here, WVBT-43, is licensed for Virginia Beach, its main studios and operation facilities is in Portsmouth, VA, my hometown.

By the way, I do have a theory that The Simpsons does take place in the southeastern part of Virginia, but that's for another thread.

Although it wasn't in the actual film, the secondary disc of Atlantis: The Lost Empire talked about Theodore Roosevelt's launch of the Great White Fleet from Norfolk, VA as well as briefly mentioned Norfolk Naval Shipyard, which isn't in Norfolk, but rather Portsmouth (because Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (though recently, the location is classified as being in Maine, not unlike how the Statue of Liberty is technically in New Jersey, yet being classified as being in New York).

And though there is no city or community of Langley in Virginia (that's more or less Charlottesville, thanks to its close proximity to D.C.) like there is on American Dad, NASA Langley is based in Hampton, Virginia.
