12 Ghost Towns in Texas┃You're Not Supposed to Know

Hidden across 268,000 square miles of desert, prairie, and coastline, Texas is home to hundreds of forgotten towns — places that boomed, thrived, and then vanished into silence. These aren't just abandoned buildings. These are entire communities that were erased from the map. From a port city that rivaled Galveston before being swallowed by the Gulf... to a company town of 10,000 people that was literally dismantled brick by brick... to a lawless frontier settlement where Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp once walked the streets — these are 12 ghost towns in Texas you were never supposed to know about. 🔹 Which one surprised you the most?
