Oatman has undergone a change in recent years thanks to increasing interest in Route 66 and the growth of Laughlin, Nevada, which promotes visits to the town. There are many wild burros in the surrounding hills and wild burros freely roam the town. They can be hand-fed carrots and "burro chow," both readily available in practically every store in town. Click HERE for the story of how the town got its name. It is very interesting.
