context_page_description: Dango is a ghost town located in southwestern Jackson County, Kentucky, United States. The town was located at the confluence of Racoon Creek 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. Near the confluence of the two creeks is the historical Carpenter School, which may be named after Carpenter Ridge, of which it is two miles south of.
