NIPTON, Calif. (KTNV) â The tiny town of Nipton, California, is getting some attention from prospective buyers after the idea to turn the outpost into a cannabis consumption destination went bust and the pandemic added further pain and forced a foreclosure.
On any given day, the number of trains passing by the Mojave desert town easily outnumbers the residents of Nipton.
The town's dwellers ebb and flow is around 25 people, some of whom work for nearby industries including mining, solar power installation, and railroad.
