Ghost Towns of Oklahoma

The definitions of Ghost Towns could be applied to hamlets, villages, towns, and cities that are no longer in existence, all buildings and indications of existence having been either destroyed or covered by water; where the remains of business and/or residential structures still stand but are largely unused; and where the population has decreased at least 80% from its maximum.

The Ghost Towns of Oklahoma were all developed for varying lengths of time and languished or died as agricultural technology changed. Transportation lines developed and shifted, mineral resources became depleted, and a new lfie style came into existence (especially in Indian & Oklahoma Territory).
