You’ll find Zana’s remains in Martin County, Florida, where it emerged as a small settlement in the early 1900s along the Beeline Highway. The community thrived around the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, with citrus groves and turpentine operations driving its economy. After the Great Freeze of 1894-1895 destroyed 90% of its citrus trees, Zana declined rapidly. Today, the ghost town sits within Brady Ranch resort, where native vegetation has reclaimed most traces of this forgotten railroad stop.
