Hortons Bay became deserted primarily due to the decline of the fishing industry and the depletion of Natural Resources in the area. As the primary livelihood of its residents diminished, many families chose to relocate in search of better opportunities elsewhere. Additionally, the rise of more accessible transportation and communication methods made it easier for people to leave small, isolated communities. By the mid-20th century, the once-thriving settlement was largely abandoned.
