Dango is a ghost town located in southwestern Jackson County, Kentucky, United States. The town was located at the confluence of Racoon Creek[2] and Horse Lick Creek, which flows into the Rockcastle River. It is located southwest of McKee by 8 miles, and 2.7 miles southeast of another ghost town, Loam.[3] Near the confluence of the two creeks is the historical Carpenter School,[4] which may be named after Carpenter Ridge,[5] of which it is two miles south of. Heavy settlement and farming occurred in the area around Horse Lick Creek, where Dango was, until the early 1900s.[6] The area where Dango was is currently occupied by the Daniel Boone National Forest, known as the Horse Lick Creek Biopreserve, with the majority of ownership being private.[7]
