Centralia, Pennsylvania


 

Centralia is a borough located in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. Although as recently as 1981 there were over 1,000 residents, the population has dwindled to less than 20 as a result of a 40-year-old mine fire burning beneath the borough, one of at least 38 in Pennsylvania alone.
