Mingus, TX

Travel Guide

Thurber, Texas - population about 10 - is considered to be Texas' premier ghost town. Here's why: barely 100 years ago, Thurber used to have 9,000 residents. Today, it's merely a pit stop on Interstate 20.

Thurber began as a company-owned town. The Texas and Pacific railroad owned the mineral rights to the vast (and only) bituminous coal 
deposits in Texas, and lured thousands of skilled coal miners from the north and from Europe to get it out. Setting up a small settlement ringed by  tree-covered hilltops, Thurber, which was named after one of the majority shareholders in the company, quickly grew as 
businesses set up shop.

Almost everything was fine. The staff that we interacted with were very nice. The problems were, only one of the two elevators worked, so sometimes there was a more than expected wait. The other thing was no ice. When we came in there was one of four ice machines that worked. After the first night ...
