Dan
Today: Tel Dan nature reserve, northern Israel
A city at the far north of Israel, at the foot of Mount Hermon.
The tribe of Dan took the city and gave it their name (Judg 18:29). Jeroboam set up a golden calf there (1 Kgs 12:29).
The context
47And the territory of the sons of Dan slipped out of their hands; and the sons of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and took possession of it and lived in it; and they called Leshem Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
