where is the abandoned town in centralia pa
Centralia is a borough and near-ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its population has dwindled from more than 1,000 residents in 1980 to 63 by 1990, to only seven in 2013 -- a result of the coal mine fire which has been burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia, which is part of the Bloomsburg -- Berwick metropolitan area, is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania. It is completely surrounded by Conyngham Township.
