Texas State

Wingate, TX

Wingate, Texas, began in the 1890s and grew to a peak population of 250 by the 1940s. Today just a few residents call the area home, with many of the buildings on Main Street abandoned, barring the large cotton gin, which appears to still be in operation.

Tulsa, OK

About fifty miles west of Tulsa, is a small town with a population of about 150. It was in Ingalls, Oklahoma where the Wild Bunch (aka the Doolin-Dalton Gang) and U.S. Marshals faced off in 1893 in an event that locals still vividly remember to this day with an annual reenactment.
