The Victorian era from the 1840s through the early 1900s was the great age of American town building. The combination of railroad expansion, mining booms, and agricultural settlement created thousands of communities in the Victorian architectural style, and many of them were abandoned before the century turned. Victorian ghost towns are distinguished by their ornate wooden buildings, their elaborate false fronts, and the distinct style of an era that believed prosperity would last forever.
