All about Texas - Texas history, travel, over 2500 cities, towns, ghost towns; Texas attractions, people, historic places, illustrated. lists various towns, like White Flat,Orla, Fly Gap,Verdi and others which have small or almost no one left.Check out the site.They have an area for ghost towns which lists alot of these places, I think Perico has only two people left,and not sure if anyone still lives in Glenrio,on old Route 66 on the border of Texas and New Mexico.

I hereby resurrect this thread to point out Laurier CDP, Washington, which had a TOTAL population (not just permanent residents) of 1 as of the 2010 census. I don't personally believe that, as I live near there and it's actually kinda big (relative to other towns around it), but still...

Our Smallest Towns, Big Falls, Blue Eye, Bonanza, & beyond a book by Dennis Kitchen. Published 1995.

Mr. Kitchen traveled to each town, took a picture of the residents and the residents told of their town. Interesting why they returned, stayed.

Prairies and deserts are more conducive to nomadic herding and hunting. Entire towns/tribes carry their mobile homes on their own backs or horse/camel/ox etc. Learning how to live in a new habitat can take centuries.

Old thread but Lewis, VT. Population zero. Not a single settler was interested in the bogs or mountains there. Warner's Grant, VT. Also zero. Avery's Gore, VT, also zero. Warren Gore, VT, population 4. Glastenbury, VT, population 8. Somerset, VT, population 5. Averill, VT, population 24. Ferdinand, VT, population 32.

All of these places have low populations for a reason. Land that's not conducive to settlement (bogs, mountains), isolation, lack of access to employment. Most of them have large blocks of public lands today.
