What does life look like in a town of just 200 people?
In this drive through Creston, Washington, we explore one of the many small rural towns that helped build the American West. Founded in 1889 along the railroad and incorporated in 1903, Creston once thrived because of the trains that passed through.
Today, agriculture — especially wheat farming — keeps this community going. But with a small population, aging residents, and younger generations often moving to larger cities, it raises a bigger question:
Can a town this small survive in 2026?
This quiet drive captures the main road, historic buildings, and open farmland that define rural eastern Washington. Small towns like Creston tell a larger story about how America grew — and how communities adapt when industries change.
Would you live in a town like this?
