There’s a fake town on Google Maps!

The town is called Argleton and was located south of a town called Ormskirk in England. The supposed location of Argleton is an abandoned field west of the A59 motorway. The town was removed from google maps in 2010, but it still lives on in the minds of the internet and even has its own wikipedia page!

?Nobody is quite sure how the town came to be on the map. One explanation is that it?s a paper town, a fake place added to maps to make counterfeits easier to spot.?

Another example of a paper town would be Agloe, New York. This town was created by a map company but was made real by a man who founded the Agloe General store in its supposed location, therefore bringing it into existence.?

Google, however, sticks by the explanation that an error was made when creating the map. They are still not sure how it came to be in their databases.

The mystery of Argleton caused a stir in the local community when it first showed up. One man even walked to the field where it was supposed to be, just to see if it really did exist! ?
