The task of recognising possibly multi-word expressions that reference individuals of various specific types (locations, but also organisations, dates, etc.) is called named-entity recognition (NER).

For a simple task such as yours, existing freely available tools and models are sufficient. You could try the Stanford Named Entity Recognizer, which is free software. Try analysing your sentence using their online demo.
