Abingdon, located in northeastern Harford County, Maryland, USA, about 30 minutes from Baltimore, is a typical suburban town. Rich in history, it was an important trading post in the 18th century and still retains colonial architecture, such as the stone streets and historic churches of Abingdon's Old Town. A convenient satellite town, Abingdon's proximity to Interstate I-95 provides residents with easy access to Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. The local economy is dominated by small and medium-sized businesses, and the educational system and friendly neighborhoods attract families looking for a quieter life. In addition, the neighborhood's rich natural beauty and proximity to recreational destinations such as Gunpowder Rock State Park make it an ideal choice for combining urban convenience with natural livability.
Buford is located in Laramie County, Wyoming, USA, off Interstate 80, about 40 kilometers south of the state capital, Cheyenne. The town is famous for having the smallest resident population in the United States - in 2010, there was only one person left (and then it became uninhabited for a time), and was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "least populated incorporated town in the United States". Dating back to the 1860s, the town prospered as a railroad supply depot and then declined as transportation routes changed. Today, the town's landmarks include a grocery store, gas station, and a historic beacon that was sold to a Vietnamese businessman for $900,000 in 2013, making it a "lonely landmark" for tourists. Despite having zero permanent residents, the town attracts thousands of visitors each year to experience the wilderness and serenity of the vast state of Wyoming.
