In the late 17th century, Salem was a massively important port city. Most exports of the colonies would either go to Salem before being sent to Europe or taken south into the Caribbean by a ship whose home port was at Salem. Trade doesn't stop for witch trials.
Lancaster became a city in 1937 when it was granted city status by royal charter. Originally established as a market town in the 12th century, it grew due to its strategic location along the River Lune and its role in the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution. The growth in population and economic development contributed to its elevation to city status. Lancaster is also known for its historical significance, including its connections to the Lancashire witch trials and the English Civil War.
Salem, Massachusetts, is often referred to as the "Witch City" due to its infamous history related to the Salem witch trials of 1692. This nickname reflects the city's association with witchcraft, which has become a significant part of its cultural identity and tourism. Salem also embraces this history through various museums, tours, and events that celebrate its past.
Nuremberg was chosen as the location for the Nuremberg Trials due to its symbolic significance as the former epicenter of Nazi propaganda and a city symbolic of Hitler's ideology. The city also had intact courthouses and prison facilities, making it a practical choice for holding the trial.

There is no relation between the Salem Witch Trials and same gender marriage. No comparison really other than two controversial issues in the history of the US. During the Salem Witch Trials, a number of people were wrongly accused of criminal behavior. All were imprisoned. Some died, one as a result of interogation techniques used during that time. As relates to same gender marriages, a group of people are attempting to gain national legal recognition for an area of domestic contract law. It is not a criminal act in the US to marry one of the same gender, and no one has been imprisoned here for attempting to do so. It simply is not recognized. During the Salem witch trials, it was mostly the poorer, rural population who engaged in agriculture that supported the use of "spectral evidence" as sufficient to convict someone of witchcraft. The more affluent, city population who were involved in commerce and trading were less likely to support the witch trials and lobbied for them to come to an end. With respect to the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States, we again see a dichotomy along similar lines.
The trials were held in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1946, at the Palace of Justice.
