An urban legend spoke of a town set up by a group of individual that felt they didn't belong to the greater society and wanted to isolate themselves. Their little colony grew over time as more disgruntled humans joined them. Everyone who joined them was never heard off again. When scouts were sent to find out what happened to them, the scouts only came back to report that the town has become a ghost town. No one lives there anymore. It was assumed that they all had decided to go into seclusion. Their story was forgotten over time. I am not too sure of the details of the full story, but speak with Historian Mabel. She might have the whole scoop on the story if you are interested.
