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.

10/10 Excellent

"the room was very clean, wish the soap had been a little larger for a two night stay The staff was very friendly the food was out standing. We want to thank Nick for all his service he was personably and eager to do what we needed. Thank you very much Nick we had a wonderful stay "
