Bradywgn71 710 Posted July 9, 2013 It was originally called Vivian for the Vi-vian Mining Co. but the name was later changed to Oatman. The United Eastern Mine struck another vein and stayed in business until WWII when the government closed the mines as non-essential to the war effort. http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/az/oatman.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
