Aladdin

Aladdin is a 30-acre hamlet in eastern Crook County. There are 15 people and five families in the community. Before the closure of the nearby Aladdin coal mine, the town was home to 200 residents. Today the town consists of a landmark historic store, post office, gas station, an adjacent 2-bedroom home, an outbuilding with a walk-in cooler, a seven-unit mobile home park, a café, and the Aladdin Motel. The store is a popular stopping place for travelers, and its new owners will continue to build upon the town’s long-standing western history.
