Question: What Arizona ghost town is known for a bizarre collection of junk art?

Answer: Chloride. Located 23 miles northwest of Kingman in Mohave County, Chloride is an unincorporated community and the oldest continuously inhabited mining town in Arizona, founded in 1862. Once a booming silver mining town that was once home to some 75 mines and 5,000 residents, Chloride turned into a ghost town in the 1940s. Today, the kitschy Wild West village, where an estimated 75-131 people still live, is known for a wonderfully bizarre collection of junk art and a display of giant murals.
