Line 34:
* In ''A Town Like Alice'', the heroine turns a [[Ghost Town]] into a Boom Town with an application of money, enterprise, and motivation.
* [[One Hundred Years of Solitude|Macondo]] got trough this trope during its [[Banana Republic|Producer Town]] stage.
* The obscure Venezuelan novel ''Oficina Número 1'' takes place
* Tell Sackett founds one of these almost inadvertently in the [[Louis L'Amour]] novel ''[[Sackett]]'', as a cover for his more profitable gold strike some distance away.
** Actually, most of Louis L'amour's novels have a boomtown. In ''[[Fallon]]'', the titular character starts a boomtown on top of a boomtown; in ''[[The Iron Marshall]]'', it's pointed out several times that the town didn't exist just a year before; in ''[[Bendigo Shafter]]'', building a town is the whole point... and so on.
