Join me as I take you on a tour of 6 historic ghost towns in Oregon. Each video will feature a tour of the town, maps to each location, and useful tips for a trip to visit.
In Part 4 we visit the historic ghost town of Boyd, Oregon. As of 2022, Boyd’s population is only a handful of people. It’s no longer incorporated, so the don’t track a formal population. Boyd was established in 1870 and named for a local resident T.P. Boyd, who had built a mill in the area. In 1923, Hwy 197 was constructed and diverted traffic away from the town leading to its eventual disincorporation.

According to the State of Oregon: sos.oregon.gov/
“Ghost towns defy easy explanation.”
What is a Ghost Town?
1. Has a history of decline and loss.
2. Is of historic interest.
3. Can be “home to living people - thousands of them, even.” But not enough to “fill all offices provided for under its charter.”
