    A lost town:
    “Juno (1890-1903) – Became Juno Beach. The town was located slightly south of present day Juno Beach. Terminal southern stop on the Celestial Railroad, the town was the county seat for Dade County from 1890-1899. Mostly pineapples were grown, and the town consisted of the courthouse, newspaper office where The Tropical Sun was published, and seven houses. The county seat was moved back to Fort Dallas (Miami) and the courthouse building was moved to Miami via a barge. The remainder of the town burned in 1899.”

      minicapt,
      That whole page was really interesting. I was surprised the many ways the towns and cities got their names, especially the number from the original name. I was surprised by the places which just disappeared.

      We have towns like that here. Some ended up at the bottom of Quabbin Reservoir when it was formed. People moved themselves and all their belongings. The houses, stores and churches stayed behind.
