Early Indications show that the counties of Bladen, Bun combe, Chatham, Iredell, Moore, Randolph, Robeson and Watauga lead the state In numbers of old towns. An abandoned town differs from a ghost town In that the latter Is a com munity In drastically reduced circumstances. An abandoned town Is exactly what the term implies ... abandoned and therefore uninhabited. Such a town may have originally grown around a factory, a processing plant, a mine, a railroad station, etc. Many towns have suf fered because they were by-passed by more modern means of transportation. Some suffered from too much water, others with not enough. When a commercial or govern ment facility fades away. Inhabitants usually fade with It. ’niese studies are prized and sought for by history buffs, educators, historical societies, libraries, realtors, vacationers and treasure hunters.
