The 10 least populated towns in America

3. Bonanza, Colorado – 1

In the Colorado Rockies, lies the city of Bonanza. Pretty cool name in a cool location, right? At some point, Bonanza even had a whopping twelve residents, but not so many these days.

Founded in 1880, the town was flooded by prospectors hoping to extract silver from the land. This makes Bonanza one of the oldest existing municipalities in Colorado. The influx of miners in the 1920s led to an real estate expansion that included bakeries, dance halls and saloons.

With the silver all gone and residents leaving, Bonanza has become a shadow of itself. While up to 200 people own property in Bonanza, there is only one resident in the town. In spite of all this, Bonanza, still has one firehouse and even the mailman comes by, albeit once a year.
