7 Forgotten Towns in New York You Never Knew About!

New York has a hidden history of lost towns — some flooded for reservoirs, some demolished for parks, and some simply forgotten by time. Communities like Cannonsville, Neversink, and the Pepacton towns were wiped off the map so New York City could have clean drinking water, with residents evicted by eminent domain and buildings burned to the ground. Doodletown was razed for a ski resort that was never even built. Tahawus was abandoned twice by the same industry for opposite reasons within a single century. Little Ireland vanished so completely that it took a retired teacher following a creek name on an old map to rediscover it. These weren't ghost towns that slowly emptied — they were taken, and most New Yorkers have never heard of them.
