Another stop on the Burlington Railroad to the Wyoming coalfields, this town was named for the character in Arabian Nights to inspire good luck and riches. The name was also given to the Aladdin Coal Mine Company which developed here. The “Liar’s Bench” in front of the bright red Aladdin General Store is known for the tellers of tall tales who have sat there over the years. Aladdin is the lowest settlement in Wyoming, at 3740 feet elevation, and a basin just to the north is the lowest point in Wyoming, at 3125 feet. The Aladdin area is also rich in fossil remains, from petrified tree trunks to lizard footprints.
