Laquin, in Franklin Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, was founded about 1902 as a lumber town, (although the ghost town of Barclay is nearby and it is an old coal mining town). The death of the town was from economics. When the forests played out and the mills could no longer be fed, the industry left and the people soon followed. A CCC camp was established here in the 1930s but this would be abandoned and by 1941 Laquin was a ghost town. Population at one time probably approached 2000, maybe more. There are abundant traces of the town today, though the last building disappeared sometime in the 1960s.
