library(tmaptools)
library(sf)
library(leaflet)
cities <- c("Sacramento", "Santa Clarita")
cities_new <- geocode_OSM(cities)
#           query      lat       lon  lat_min  lat_max   lon_min   lon_max
# 1    Sacramento 38.58106 -121.4939 38.43757 38.68551 -121.5601 -121.3627
# 2 Santa Clarita 34.39166 -118.5426 34.34145 34.49610 -118.6133 -118.3788

cities.sf <- cities_new %>% st_as_sf(coords = c("lon", "lat"), crs = 4326)
cities.buffer <- cities.sf %>% sf::st_buffer( dist = 120700)

leaflet() %>% addTiles() %>%
  addCircleMarkers(data = cities.sf, color = "red") %>%
  addPolygons(data = cities.buffer)
