Wayfar
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Wayfar was a settlement on Tatooine. Geographically, it was located in the deep south of the most inhabitable region of Tatooine, east of the Dune Sea, and Jabba's Palace.

[edit] History
In 0 BBY, Kaimer was the mayor of Wayfar. Moisture farmers found Wayfar to be an attractive town, and hermits would occasionally drop by for much needed supplies. Otherwise, Wayfar was a very desolate town, and could be easily mistaken for an abandoned settlement.
In 1 ABY, Porgryn of the Azure Cabal operated out of this town. During the same year, Wayfar chose to host a Life Day celebration. During the celebration, a very rare snow blizzard covered the town in snow.
[edit] Behind the scenes
In the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, Wayfar is one of many cities on Tatooine. When the game was first released, the town lacked a shuttleport. This forced players to walk or drive to Wayfar from another city. However, the developers eventually added a shuttleport to the town to make transportation to Wayfare more convenient.
During the Life Day live event from December 16, 2008 to January 12, 2009, players could visit Wayfar for a variety of Life Day activities. For the event, Wayfar had a blizzard which covered the town in snow. It is unclear how this could be viewed from an in-universe perspective. It can be presumed that the town used some sort of snow machine, or it was a very rare weather phenomena.
