Santa Claus, Arizona

US Ghost Town Collection – Santa Claus, Arizona – The middle of the Mojave Desert definitely isn’t the first place you’d look for jolly old Saint Nick—and yet, this abandoned town in Arizona is dedicated to all things Christmas. Realtor Nina Talbot founded the town in 1937 in an attempt to attract buyers to the desert. Santa Claus did become popular with tourists for a while, bu all the Christmas spirit wasn’t enough to convince anyone to move there and the town eventually fell into disrepair. Check out the rundown red and white buildings and forlorn tinsel for yourself—it’s not maintained, but free to visit.
