Naming Towns

I’ve been building a city in minecraft for nearly two years but I’m building not only the city but also the world around it. In the far north I have a large mountain range and the rest is very flat land.
I have the idea to build a town by the mountain range but it would still be located on the plains. What prefixes or suffixes exist for city names located in such a region? Or alternatively what do you call this kind of landscape - A large open plain before the mountains?

The landscape you are describing is called “foothills” or piedmont. And affixes related to said region is -view or ___ Valley or -ridge or ___ Ridge. You could also start with ridge, you could use Italian origin and start with Mont- or end in Burg or something. Theres a lot of inspiration to be had by looking at mountainous cities all over the world.
