This is one of the simplest ways of naming a work of fiction. Like [[Character Title]], where the story is named after the main character in the story, [[The Place]] is where the main location is used as the title. [[The Place]] need not be where most of the action is set, it is sufficient for it to be important to the plot. If we don't know that the title is a place until near the end, then this place is [[The Namesake]].
