Скачать или смотреть Pithole: The Town That Rose Overnight and Vanished Forever

Pithole, Pennsylvania, was once one of the fastest-growing towns in American history.

Born from the 1860s oil boom, it grew from nothing to over 20,000 people in less than a year — filled with hotels, churches, saloons, a stock exchange, and unimaginable wealth.

Then it vanished.

As oil production declined, investors left, businesses closed, and families abandoned the town. By 1877, Pithole was officially unincorporated and erased from the map.

Today, the forest has reclaimed its streets. No buildings remain — only foundations, markers, and silence.

This is the true story of a city built for profit… with no plan for survival.
