The "downtown" area is 3-4 buildings, all of which are fairly secured with wooden boards and locks. However, some windows are broken out which allows for access inside the buildings. Most of them over the years have just become places for the few who still live nearby to store random items. In the area around downtown there are a few interesting sites, such as the Fluvanna Cemetery and some abandoned farm houses. There is even an old school building nearby, but it appears that someone owns the property and uses it.  Basic Information Type: Ghost Town Status: Abandoned Accessibility: Easy Recommendation: check it out if you're nearby  Physical Information Address FM 612 Fluvanna, Texas United States Owner: See a map of this location  Hazards rust unsafe flooring  Interesting Features There is, quite literally, no one around.

Named for a surveyor's home county in Virginia, Fluvanna was established by realty promoters who knew that the Roscoe, Snyder and Pacific Railway would terminate at its site. By the time the railroad arrived in 1908, the townsite had already been staked off and lots put on sale. It boomed briefly and by 1911 had two real estate offices, a thirty-room hotel, a lumberyard, a cotton gin, and other businesses. The community's population in 1915 was estimated at 500, and in 1920 and 1940, at 375. Fluvanna's importance lessened when major highways bypassed the area, and when the Roscoe, Snyder and Pacific closed the Fluvanna station in 1941, the town's days as a shipping center were over. In 1980 Fluvanna had a post office, an estimated population of 180, and at least four businesses. Its population was still reported as 180 in 1990 and 2000. All businesses except for the post office have closed.  Media Coverage N/A  Future Plans N/A  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Spring 2010 Sun, Oct 31st, 2010 posted by corbenator 12 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
