Colma, CA - Home to 2 Million Dead People and 1,200 Live Ones

The small town of Colma, California, has been called the "city of soul," and for a good reason. Despite only having a population of around 1,200 people, the town can claim to have around 2 million burials and 17 cemeteries. During the 1880s, nearby San Fransisco started to run out of room to bury their dead and eventually decided to hold funerals in Colma, giving the two-square-mile town its huge number of cemeteries.

Travelers can also check out the graves of some pretty famous American icons while in Colma. Wild West sheriff Wyatt Earp is buried there, as are Levi Strauss and William Randolph Hearst.
