10 Most Abandoned Cities in Florida – Inside the State’s Forgotten Dead Zones

10 Most Abandoned Cities in Florida – Inside the State’s Forgotten Dead Zones. Florida is famous for its beaches, theme parks, and sunshine – but hidden between the highways and palm trees are places the tourist brochures will never show you. In this video, we travel deep into the 10 most abandoned cities in Florida, the state’s truly forgotten dead zones. These were once living communities with schools, churches, busy main streets, and big dreams tied to railroads, ports, timber, phosphate, or the next land boom.
Then the storms came. Or the water table changed. Or the economy collapsed, the railroad rerouted, the factory shut down, the highway moved miles away. One by one, jobs disappeared, houses emptied, and entire neighborhoods were left to mold, salt air, and slow decay.
Today, some of these places are barely dots on a map – rotted piers, collapsing motels, sunken roads, and signs warning you not to trespass. Others still have a handful of residents clinging to the last pieces of what used to be home.
We dig into the history, the rumors, and the hard data to explain how each of these Florida towns turned into a dead zone… and what they reveal about the state’s fragile future.
