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.

2/5 Poor

Disappointed

"At first I thought this isn’t too bad. But when I went to bed I discovered there was only this thin so called bed spread for covers. The top sheet had been tucked in only to discover another top sheet. When I pulled the fist one back the one underneath it was dirty. My daughter was bitten by some kind of bug in the bed. The floor were swept and mopped but were still dirty. Make sure you wear sock to walk or your feet will be filthy. There are no plugs for hairdryers except at the lamp. When I plugged it in I had to hold it in place because the plug is upside down and due to the fact that plus on the wall lamp the actual lamp keeps you from plugging it in correctly. There was a table with no chairs so if you are dining in the room be prepared to eat in bed."
