Four years after becoming the first town to be sold on EBay, the 83-acre Bridgeville, California, population 24, is up for sale again, this time for $1.75 million. [Thanks to Kelly Koldus for the correction.]
"Included in the deal are three cows, a 136-year-old post office building, a vacant cafe and a cemetery that purportedly contains the grave of the last white man killed by Native Americans in Humboldt County. Bidding is set to begin April 4.
...Founded in 1865 by a trapper named Slaughter Robinson, Bridgeville is nestled along the Van Duzen River, 260 miles north of San Francisco on a two-lane highway that twists through redwood forests. About two dozen people live in the town, which has no grocery store, gas station or restaurant.
...Bruce Krall, a Laguna Hills financial broker who bought the 83-acre hamlet for $700,000, is seeking a minimum bid of $1.75 million for the riverfront property."
