List of ghost towns in Manitoba

The province of Manitoba has several abandoned Mennonite villages across the southern part of the province.

Ghost towns are towns that once had a considerable population, that have since dwindled in numbers causing some or all its business to close, either due to the rerouting of a highway, train tracks being pulled, or exhaustion of some natural resource.
