Good thing about America is you live out from a big city in a smaller town, so you can get kind of the best of both worlds. Myself I grew up out in the country but only had about a 20 minute drive to the city and I still live like that, it’s nice.
My sister-in-law lived out side of Shady Grove, Tx. She was an author. She called her place "The Back Side of Nowhere". I remember the soil is very rich and grows blueberries 10 ft tall
A friend of mine grew up in the middle of nowhere in East Texas in the 1950’s. His Dad was the only doctor in the county so he would occasionally pull a calf or stitch up livestock as well as treating humans.
McMahan Tx has 124 people, a popular country music dance hall/pizza parlor (Whizzerville Hall), a BBQ joint that is only open every now and then when the owner wants to cook (R&G BBQ) and a convenience store. It's a twelve mile drive to the Original Black's BBQ in Lockhart. 🐄🐄🤠🐄🐄
Domino cracks me up. I live in northwest Texas and our property is an acre and a half. I live just outside of a tiny town and including us, there might be 55 people here. We are unincorporated. There is a cotton gin and a post office here. Back in the 1930s It had two churches, a school, two lumber yards, a grocery store, gas station and a farm store. I love living here, but the drive to get groceries is a pain and needless to say, we don't eat out much.
I grew up in Graham, TX. At he time, its population was 8946 people. O it is considered a small city, as it is the County Seat of Young County, Texas. It is smack dab in the center of Wichita Falls to the north, Fort Worth to the east, and Abilene to the West.
There's also a small town in Texas called Earth. It's a little bigger than the ones in this video, with a population of about 900. (Originally named Fairlawn, until they discovered there was already a town called Fairlawn in Texas. Then they changed it to "Good Earth" because of the good soil for farming, and finally, when they got a post office, they shortened it to just "Earth".) They have a Dairy Queen restaurant in town; there's a running joke that on Sundays after church, you always know where you can find the entire population of Earth. 😉
There are over 3000 counties in the US, most are rural. I have lived in villages in OK ... around 2000. Very quiet and dark at night, you can easily slip out of town and watch for shooting stars. Nearest gas station was 15 miles away and no grocery store either. But wild animals walk right by your house ... skunk, turkey, lizards and snakes. Deer and coyotes just outside of town ... and hawks looking for small animals or pets, flying overhead.
I live close to Dorchester. It's very pretty there. It's likely to explode in population soon. It's only a few miles from where they are constructing 6 major semiconductor manufacturing facilities, which will bring in thousands of employees and their families. The beautiful farmland is being bought up for housing developments in nearby areas. Hopefully Dorchester will be able to keep it's small town charm. Enjoyed your reaction! Blessings from a small town in Texas.
When I was 2, my parents moved to a small Texas town. At one time there was a post office, petrol station, and a small store and a church. Growing up, the only thing left was the small store. We knew everyone in town! There were less than 50 people. We were only about 7 miles from a bigger town where we went to school. I loved living there and took my kids there to live. We were there about 6 years before we moved the 7 miles to a bigger town.
I grew up in little towns in Texas not as small as these but still small population between 400-1,000 in Turkey Texas, Matador Texas, and Roaring Springs Texas. I did end moving into larger cities as an adult but I loved growing up in the small towns.
In my area, the town has a large hospital, and Cherokee nation. I live in the county, but its only 2 miles to the center of town!!! We have a river, lake, a couple of wildlife management areas. Then, about 1 ¼ hours from a major metro.
It’s odd to me that there are none in the panhandle, which is the epitome of small town Texas to me. I grew up in Childress, which is about 5000-6000 people. It’s a terrific town because it’s far enough away from large cities, but still close enough to drive over for the day. The distance from large cities means that Childress has a lot of thriving businesses of its own.
I live in the country approximately 3 miles outside of town. The towns population is only around 300 people. There is two larger towns within 40 miles and one town that is about 9 miles away. I enjoy the peace and quite.
Go back and watch the beginning of the video. There were two towns in Lamar County whose children went to school in Paris. If you were considering the whole area, that might be large enough to find conveniences and activities.
There's actually an incorporated town in Texas called Mustang that currently has 0 residents. The city I live in has about 300 people, but there's a 20k city about 5 miles away and a couple 100k cities about 20 miles away.
My sister and her kids live in a little town in Idaho called Horseshoe Bend. It has about 600 ppl. She actually lives a walking distance outside of town. The nice thing about that is the rules for living in town don't apply to them. Because it is a route to northern recreational/vacation and sporting locations, there are several restaurants and bars. A grocery store. A couple of gas stations. A hardware store. Auto repair. It has its own school. So it's a quiet place to live but not so secluded that you feel left alone. They're a 20min drive to Boise where everything is. I saw ZZ Top there.
I was very fortunate to be able to grow up in a very rural area outside of Houston. It was all dairy and beef cattle, and strangely enough rice was grown there. Now, it's just another part of Houston. It is now extremely expensive to live there. Tge land developers started buying up all the farms and building planned communities with huge houses on small lots with HOAs. I know live outside of a smaller town in Oklahoma. Even this town is growing too much. Thankfully, I'm in the center of a neighborhood, which is very established and not in the city limits. It's bordered by a rock bluff and a river.
Honestly shocked Thuber Pop 3 isnt on the list, Thurber had a Brick Plant and their bricks are found all over north Texas including many court house square roads.
I'm with you and the older I get the smaller the town I'm looking for. I'm in NH at the moment and continue moving further north and hopefully soon into the lakes region.
I bet the sweet spot for you are the sorts of small (not absurdly tiny) towns in Texas Hill Country and up south of Fort Worth. I love to go to these towns, like Glen Rose, Hico, Hamilton, Stephensville, San Saba, Llano. I prefer living in suburbs with more stores and developed walking trails, but I do love weekend trips to these places and the several state parks nearby them.
I'm from Lubbock, Texas and used to work at an alkaline lake right outside of Lamesa. It was and hour drive to work every night. One night we had a very bad thunderstorm that flooded all the roads so my coworker invited me to his place to grab dinner and wait the storm out in Los Ybanez. It was an experience for sure, but we grabbed some beer from the liquor store and he made some killer tacos.
@@Realsovietholyman moved to Lubbock in 05 my Sophomore year and went to Monterey. But my parents hated the school so they moved me to Trinity. So Trinity '08.
With some exceptions, especially in Alaska, living in a small town anywhere in America does not mean you are isolated. In most cases, you're within a 60 minute drive, or less, of a bigger town or city with all the amenities.
Pretty sure Toco and Sun Valley were 'incorporated towns' to circumvent the Paris Tx city ordinance of being 'dry' in the late 1960-1990s. Meaning the city of Paris did not sell alcohol, so Toco and Sun Valley were towns established with the intent to allow the sale of spirits for the people. Both towns are just a few miles outside of the Paris, Tx city limits. Dorchester is very small population but close anything you may need. Just 15 minutes to major grocery stores and within an hour to the Dallas metroplex.
About 1k-5k is probably best in my opinion. I grew up in Texas, but am in NM now (I live in the county, but it is a very large county and the 50k main town has just about everything. For reference the county has about 120k people...lots of rural folks here). The town I grew up in was about 6k-7k and wound up with a Wal Mart that all the surrounding communities use. I miss the dime-stores and hardware stores that I grew up with though. Peace, Love!!
If you live in a town like these…..You better Leave town to Date people, Unless you really like family time. These are places that inspire movies like “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “The Hills Have Eyes”
Northwest Texas or northern New Mexico I heard was nice and a big plus is those areas have less tornadoes. I have family that live in both of those states and that’s what they tell me anyway.
There's good and bad things about small towns. They can be very clannish in that they dont like outsiders,while others aren't like that at all. Trying to figure out which is which is rather difficult since no one is going to just come out and say it.
If you move to these places your family will Increase the Population ! I graduated with more than 1000 (my class….was over 1000) people In my senior high school class (the school has around 5,000 people) .:.. I can’t imagine living in a dusty texas place with 95 citizens or less…..That’s the start of a horror movie for anyone visiting
You may know everyones name but they also know everything you do or say. A simple saying about small towns.....If you were to get in a car wreck the whole town would know before you do.
I recommend "Why Texas Is The Next California" by Monsieur Z to watch on your own (too political for a reaction video). The comment section of "Texas Will Not Be The Next California" by Economics Explained is also worth a read.
Jono, this doesn't look good--she thinks a place of 90 is a city? My view is at least 10,000. Los Ybanez is pronounced Lohss ee-BAHN-ace in good Spanish, but the name has been Anglicized to ee-BAHN-ez.
I know the chances of a full nuclear war between the US and Russia or China are still probably small...but they aren't none. If that does happen then you are in one of the few safe places on Earth there in South Africa. Basically, if that happens, then the entire Northern Hemisphere will have so much radiation that over 75% of the population will die in the first year, and over 95% by the second year. However, due to wind and ocean currents, the Southern Hemisphere will get 70% less radiation and will be much more survivable down there. I'd stay put. At least until things stabilize more in global politics. Oh...sorry, I saw South African in the title. I didn't realize you're in Slovakia.

My comparison would be that they're so far on the back side of nowhere that "they have to pipe in daylight".

Tou should check out Whittier, Alaska. Everyone lives, works, goes to school, shops, everything, in one building.
1993 I graduated from a town of 1000. Just north was Navo, Texas, population 17. it's gone now.

Move it, move it, move it........move it.........I've been pushing this for a while now......
Me watching this as someone who grew up in a tiny west Texas town: ….yeah…
Paranormal stuff in my family going back over 100 years.
My town is called a village which is 3 blocks by 4 blocks
If you live in a town like these…..You better Leave town to Date people, Unless you really like family time.

Your family could double the population of Corral City!!!
