Hag Graef is famous for its Cold One Knights more than any other city, Malus Darkblade's (who is from Hag Graef) personal sigil is of a rearing cold-one.
The Darkblade books suggest that most cities do have contingents and regiments of Cold One Knights, Naggarond and Hag Graef as well as the Black ark of Naggor certainly have large contingents of CoK but Hag Graef's knights are the most famed.

I agree with Tethlis.Tethlis wrote:Cold Ones are utilized by the nobility, both as ridden and chariot-drawn mounts. Given that virtually all Dark Elf cities have their own noble houses and distinguished families, Cold One Knights can be found all over Naggaroth.
@Tethlis: This is a bit of an OT Q. really, but why are you named after a phoenix king?!

I started using this name back in my childhood, before I had ever laid eyes on a Games Workshop product. It was only when I discovered Warhammer in my early teens that I learned that GW had come up with the same name and given it to a Phoenix King. I kept the name, but don't keep the association
It also sounds like the nobility likes to emulate Malekith a bit, and that when Malekith took to the field in a chariot (as he did in his old ruleset, and still can today) the nobility followed his lead. The same could easily be true with Cold Ones; they probably fall in and out of favor as a preferred method of war, depending on trends in Dark Elf culture. Granted, it's a steep sacrifice to make given the side effects of riding a Cold One, but Dark Elves don't seem to mind a bit of corporeal punishment while in pursuit of a grander ambition.

Of course COs are used all over Naggaroth. The more interesting question is: Where the most.
Malus99 already named Hag Graef, where the beasts have been originally found. This city even has no other special profile besides of darkness and COs.
But the chariots have their own story: for a long time only allowed to use by Malekith himself, later (when he had a dragon instead) gifts to his local surrounding. Mostly still in Naggarond.
Weren't they even called somewhere "COC of Naggarond" or like that?
So I whould say:
COK - Had Graef
COC - Naggarond
In addition, at least COK also fit well in Karond-Kar. And, again, can be found an every other city as well.
