The Magic of Oz

place

The Emerald City

also City of Emeralds

The green city at the centre of Oz, where the road of yellow brick ends and the Wizard is asked for favours.

First named in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, ch. 3 — the earliest chapter using this name. A thing may appear before it is called this: Baum writes “the Winkies” long before anyone writes “Winkie Country”.

Counted from the chapters both are in, not merely named in — a trail to follow, not a claim about the story.

Dorothy reaches the city in chapter 11 of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which calls it only "the wonderful City" — that chapter is held back for the review pass because it cannot be confirmed by name alone. Note also that the book's contents page titles that chapter "The Emerald City of Oz" while the chapter itself is headed "The Wonderful City of Oz".
