3 way to remove duplicate objects from array
let list = [{place:"AAA",name:"Me"},
{place:"BBB",name:"You"},
{place:"AAA",name:"Him"}];
let output1 = Array.from(new Set(list.map(list=>list.place))).map(place=>{
return {
place: place,
name: list.find(a=>a.place===place).name
}
})
console.log('------------------------1st way')
console.log(output1)
let output2 = list.reduce((accumulator, element) => {
if (!accumulator.find(el => el['place'] === element['place'])) {
accumulator.push(element);
}
return accumulator;
},[]);
console.log('------------------------2nd way')
console.log(output2)
const output3 = [];
const map = new Map();
for (const object of list) {
if(!map.has(object.place)){
map.set(object.place, true);
output3.push({
place: object.place,
name: object.name
});
}
}
console.log('------------------------3rd way')
console.log(output3)

A simple one:
var list = [{place:"AAA",name:"Me"}, {place:"BBB",name:"You"}, {place:"AAA",name:"Him"}];
list.forEach(function(i) {
var duplicates = list.filter(function(j) {
return j !== i && j.place == i.place;
});
duplicates.forEach(function(d) { list.splice(list.indexOf(d), 1); });
});
// list = [{place:"AAA",name:"Me"}, {place:"BBB",name:"You"}];
document.write(JSON.stringify(list));

Just in case someone wonders: underscore.js
solution:
var list = [{place:"AAA",name:"Me"}, {place:"BBB",name:"You"}, {place:"AAA",name:"Him"}];
_.uniq(list, function(item, key, a) {
return item.place;
})

As you added:
i want to remove just one, dont matter wich one
If you want to remove duplicated items and keep only the first occcurence of particular place, you can simply use a simple loop to re-create a new array from the input:
var list = [{place:"AAA",name:"Me"}, {place:"BBB",name:"You"}, {place:"AAA",name:"Him"}];
var uniqPlace = function(array){
var result = [];
array.forEach(function(el){
if (result.filter(function(n){ return n.place === el.place }).length==0){
result.push(el);
}
})
return result;
}
Output:
uniqPlace(list);
[{"place":"AAA","name":"Me"},{"place":"BBB","name":"You"}]

Create a object
to store the items by their place
value, as the new item with the same key will overwrite the old one, this will easily remove all dulplicates.
var list = [{place:"AAA",name:"Me"}, {place:"BBB",name:"You"}, {place:"AAA",name:"Him"}];
var removeDuplicate = function(list) {
var keyStore = {};
var output = [];
// If you want to creata totally new one from old, use
// list = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(list));
// The above commented out code will create a copy of list, so the items in output will not affect the original ones.
list.forEach(function(item) {
// new one overwrites old one.
keyStore[item.place] = item;
});
var key;
for (key in keyStore) {
output.push(keyStore[key]);
}
return output;
};
console.log(removeDuplicate(list));

Try this.
var result = {};
for (i = 0, n = arr.length; i < n; i++) {
var item = arr[i];
result[ item.place + " - " + item.name ] = item;
}
Loop the result again, and recreate the array.
i = 0;
for(var item in result) {
clearnArr[i++] = result[item];
}
