Tortilla Flat is a tiny township, with six inhabitants :)
It is presumed to be Arizona's smallest official "community" having a U.S. Post Office and voter's precinct.
It is the last surviving stagecoach stop along the Apache Trail.
Originally a camping ground for the prospectors who searched for gold in the Superstition Mountains in the mid-to-late 19th century, Tortilla Flat was later a freight camp for the construction of Theodore Roosevelt Dam in 1904.
From this time on, Tortilla Flat has had a small (<100 people) but continuous population.
A flood in 1942 badly damaged the town, resulting in many residents moving away.
Today Tortilla Flat is made up primarily of a small store and restaurant.
