These 8 Towns In Wyoming Have Just A Handful Of Residents

Wyoming is full of small towns - duh. Here are a few of our favorite impossibly tiny communities where everyone knows everyone, and travelers stop in for a truly unique experience.

1. Hartville

Hartville is the oldest town in Wyoming! It's quite tiny, with a population around 60 people at any given time. Travelers tend to come for dinner at Miners and Stockmans, the oldest bar in the state.

2. Atlantic City

Atlantic City is the coolest ghost town around! With a population between 30-50 people at any given time, it's quite a tiny town! Come visit to see the remnants of Wyoming's mining past and enjoy a meal at one of two restaurants - the Merc or the Miners Grubsteak. The town has taken on a role as a novel trail town along the Continental Divide Trail.

3. Aladdin

Aladdin is a strange place with about a dozen residents and an enormous general store. It's one of the oldest in Wyoming! Stop by when you're in the Devils Tower area and shop for some unique souveniers.

4. Manville

Manville is a cowboy town with fewer than 100 residents. It's worth a stop if you're traveling through, because the 3 Sisters Truck Stop serves up some of the best pie you'll ever get to try.

5. Lost Springs

There are four residents of Lost Springs, Wyoming. If that seems impossibly tiny, keep in mind that it is Wyoming we're talking about, so you'll find a bar in town if you need a drink.

6. Riverside

Riverside, a town of about two dozen residents, is tucked up next to Encampment, which is another small town in the Cowboy State. There are a handful of cabin and camping accommodations here, along with the Mangy Moose Tavern, Bear Trap Cafe, and Common Grounds Coffee Shop.

7. Dixon

Dixon is a historic little town with a population of 91, as per the latest census. They've got all you need to thrive in small town life, though, like a post office, pub, and community center.

8. Buford

Buford is possibly the most famous tiny town in the country. With a population of 1, it's the the highest point along all of the transcontinental Interstate 80, Lincoln Highway and the Overland Route. Several years ago, PhilDeli Coffee attempted to rebrand the entire town, but it didn't stick. Lots of travelers stop in to see the odd Ames Monument, a famous roadside attraction along the Lincoln Highway.
