When you travel the country, oftentimes you realize just how vasty different each state uses the label “small towns”. In New Jersey, a town of 40,000 people can be a small town – while in Iowa, a tiny town has about 5,000 residents. In Wyoming, either of those towns would be a major city! After all, when we talk about small towns, we’re talking about places like Aladdin, which has a population around 15. Despite being ultra small, this historic little community is home to one of the oldest General Stores in the country – it’s been continually open since before the First World War.

The tiny town of Aladdin was once a bustling mining town, but in recent years, most of the population has left for larger communities.

In the past, Aladdin has been home to events and rodeos, which were popular and helped put the town on the map. Today, those events are far in the past.

One thing that hasn't changed around here, though, is the popularity of the Aladdin General Store.
