In April, Vietnamese businessman Pham Dinh Nguyen purchased the desolate town of Buford, Wyoming (population: 1) for $900,000. Nguyen, who runs a trade and distribution company in Ho Chi Minh City, told reporters that he envisions the town as a “a large and potential market for Vietnamese goods” and that it will “likely to be the showroom for such goods,” according to the Huffington Post. When the town was formed in the 1860s, it boasted a population of 2,000. Now, the 10-acre parcel is believed to be the smallest town in America, with just one resident, one gas station (plus convenience store) and a 1905 schoolhouse.
