Stopped in the interesting semi-ghost, artsy mining town of Chloride, just outside of Kingman on Highway 93. Established in 1860, it is the oldest continuously inhabitated mining town in the state.
The town is the home to the Chloride Cliff murals, painted by artist Roy Purcell in 1966 and touched up by Purcell in 1970 and again in 2006 when he was 70 years old (when you see the height of these boulders one wonders how he accomplished this task!).
From the highway it seemed there was nothing out there, but the town (population 352) has a couple restaurants, a hotel and several art/antique/curio shops. Every resident who happens to be outside will wave to you as you pass through 😊. Las Vegas Journal - Chloride
