It's marked as a PoI of type "City Center", potentially from a user adding it. It is not in your data set as a city and does not render as such, which is why it disappears at higher zoom levels. This also explains why people down-thread cannot forward resolve the city's name but searching for it works once a small-enough bounding box is established. In fact, it's this PoI: https://plus.google.com/108972490756349810804/about?gl=us&hl=en https://plus.google.com/108972490756349810804/about?gl=us&hl... So no, Google does not render this city and it's probably inaccessible via your geocoding tools. It's the equivalent of a restaurant from Google Maps's perspective. It goes without saying I feel weird explaining this to you. :)
