Description
The Arizona Ghost Town that Refuses to Die, Oatman, was a booming Arizona mining town in the early 1900"s at one time an estimated 10-12,000 people lived and worked the mines in the area. Eventually the population dropped and held at approximately 8,000 until World War II when mines moved from gold and silver and instead began mining the much needed copper ore for the War effort. Oatman never completely died as Route 66 passed through Oatman on it's way to Los Angeles and as Gold prices rise and falls the mine's in the area open and close even today.
