Is it Pluto? Formerly the final planet in our solar system, but defrocked (if that's the term) last month by a bunch of scientists becuase apparently it doesn't meet the criteria for a planet?

I wouldn't exactly describe Pluto as being of great importance - except for its influence on the orbits of the stuff around it - and anyway, it's still there and existing. I can't think of many places that have ceased to exist (rather than suffering a name change) in comparatively recent times - unless Surtsey's gone. And that's only of great importance to scientists investigation colonisation and erosion.
