 I don't think this joke is about the town of LaGrange (especially since there's so many of them), but rather a reference to the "Wait, it's all Ohio?" meme [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wait-its-all-ohio-always-has-been].

 : Interesting conjecture, but I would be very surprised if the "joke" in this was based on that meme. That doesn't seem like the kind of humor xkcd normally plays on. Map makers and census takers may see LaGrange, OH as an insignificant town, much smaller than other locations with the same name, but it is more commonly known as being part of [Greater Cleveland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Cleveland]. Because of that connection, LaGrange, OH is well-known enough in the United States that Randall Munroe could expect his readers to understand the reference.
