While the economy in North Dakota has boomed in recent years due to
the discovery of oil in the miles of shale beneath the state, business
in Leith has been in decline for the better part of a century. So when
officials in April 2012 noticed that one man was quickly buying up
abandoned properties in what had become close to a ghost town high on
the Great Plains, it was strange.
“I didn’t have a clue who the guy was until he showed up. All I know
is he bought that house sight unseen, $5,000 cash, and had no idea what
it looked like, where it was, other than he knew the directions to get
to Leith,” Leith Mayor Ryan Schock, a farmer who has lived here all his
life, told Hatewatch.
