Thurmond, West Virginia

In its heyday, Thurmond, West Virginia, boasted 500 active residents and even claimed the longest poker game, according to Ripley’s Believe It or Not. For a long time, the only way to get to the town was by railroad. When one of its famous hotels, the Dun Glen, burned down, Thurmond went with it and never bounced back. Today, it now claims 5 residents, and they’re government park employees since the town is owned by the National Park Service.
