Ghost towns were abandoned towns in the American West that sprang up during the gold rush or when mining or agricultural opportunities dried up. Many towns became ghost towns when the gold or other resources were depleted or when railroads bypassed the towns. These ghost towns are remnants of America's westward expansion and no longer have permanent residents.
