In 1962, Centralia, Pennsylvania, had a population of approximately 1,000 residents. The town was known for its coal mining industry, but its population began to decline significantly after the underground mine fire started that year. Over the following decades, the majority of the residents were forced to evacuate due to the hazardous conditions caused by the fire, leading to a drastic decrease in population.
