The 10 least populated towns in America

6. Freeport, Kansas – 5

Like many of the entries on this list, this town was built around a railway line, the Missouri Pacific Railway in 1885. The arrival of the railway led to a brief economic boom, but it declined rapidly. Freeport used to be the smallest incorporated town in the U.S. with a bank, a branch of the Bank of Kansas; but the dwindling economy led to its closure in 2009. After being in service for 126 years, the Post Office in town followed suit in 2011.

These days, Freeport still has one claim to fame; it’s home to the Old Runnymede Church which was built in 1890. The church is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. Oh, and they have a grain elevator too.

But how many people are in town to enjoy ‘all’ these? A grand total of five!
