Oatman, Arizona is a former mining town and current tourist attraction known for its Wild West history and Route 66 location:
Mining history
Oatman began as a small mining camp in 1915 after two prospectors discovered gold worth $10 million. The town's population grew rapidly, reaching over 10,000 people. The Oatman District produced over $36 million in gold and silver between 1870 and 1980. However, the government shut down the remaining gold mining operations in 1941 as part of World War II.
Naming
The town was named after Olive Oatman, a 14-year-old girl who was kidnapped by Native Americans in 1851. Olive's story was a popular survival story in the late 1800s.
