Centralia: America’s Burning Ghost Town Then and Now | Still Active Fires!! CENTRALIA, PA Active Mine Fires - Abandoned Burning Ghost Town Documentary. Famous across the world for the ongoing underground fire which forced the town's abandonment, Centralia is located in central Pennsylvania. I GREW UP 40MINS FROM HERE!! Today we explore the remains of this modern-day ghost town. We'll dive into the history before the fire, and what the town is like today. I've also included real news coverage documenting the events of the now abandoned town. Crazy part of this whole story is the town was once home to nearly 3,000 people.

Centralia is a borough and near-ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Its population has declined from 1,000 in 1980 to five residents in 2020 because a coal mine fire has been burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia, part of the Bloomsburg–Berwick metropolitan area, is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania. It is completely surrounded by Conyngham Township. All real estate in the borough was claimed under eminent domain in 1992 and condemned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Centralia's ZIP Code was discontinued by the Postal Service in 2002. State and local officials reached an agreement with the seven remaining residents on October 29, 2013, allowing them to remain in Centralia until their deaths, after which the rights to their houses will be taken through eminent domain
