Thurber, Texas - population about 10 - is considered to be Texas' premier ghost town. Here's why: barely 100 years ago, Thurber used to have 9,000 residents. Today, it's merely a pit stop on Interstate 20.

Thurber began as a company-owned town. The Texas and Pacific railroad owned the mineral rights to the vast (and only) bituminous coal
deposits in Texas, and lured thousands of skilled coal miners from the north and from Europe to get it out. Setting up a small settlement ringed by tree-covered hilltops, Thurber, which was named after one of the majority shareholders in the company, quickly grew as
businesses set up shop.

"Overall a pleasant stay. We enjoyed lake access. Plenty of amenities, to make you feel at “home”. "

"This house was very clean! It was right on the water. The owner was very nice! "

"This was a very cute place and very secluded. We were there for a wedding so didn't have free time to venture around much. Advise you to get there in the daylight as it is very dark driving on the road to the house. We would definitely stay here again."
