Doveland, Wisconsin

Doveland was, according to claims made on various internet websites, a town that formerly existed in the state of Wisconsin but which disappeared at an unspecified time during the 1980s or 1990s. There is little evidence to demonstrate its alleged former existence, and none that could not be readily fabricated by determined hoaxsters.

Some people claim that they have souvenirs from this town as well, such as shirts and mugs. I just wanted to hear the opinion of some actual Wisconsinites about this."  — a shorter Reddit thread
