It is now more of a location than a town; there can't be more than 4 or 5 people that live at the actual location. The nearest "active" town is Manilla (pop. 900 or so), about 3 miles to the northeast in Crawford County. The Astor Cemetery is still maintained and is actually located in Shelby County. Hope this helps.
