Up until fairly recently, you could find the cultural and historical hub of any city and town across the country on its main street. The classic image of downtown shops and a tree-lined street isn’t too far from how many Arizona small towns started either. Let’s take a look at some of the best main streets in Arizona that show off how beautiful the state’s towns look!
Beautifully restored and renovated, a walk down this street will bring a sense of nostalgia for the Old West. Some of the shops that line the street include a bicycle company, art galleries, and various artisan boutiques. The street was even prominently featured in the 1985 film Murphy's Romance.

What is the most beautiful small town in Arizona?
If you're looking for the best small towns in Arizona to visit for sheer beauty, you have some options. Depending on who you ask, some people may consider a few of these places to be the most beautiful in the state. Towns like Sedona attract thousands of visitors who come to see the striking red rocks, experience the mysticism and art, and more. It's perfect for people looking to hike and be active or relax and clear the mind. Other, more quiet towns like Clarkdale will remind you of the good old days. It's delightfully retro with old shops and more.
What is the most unique town in Arizona?
There are many unique places in Arizona just waiting for you to discover them. Oatman is a good example of a one-of-a-kind hidden gem. It's not every day you see a town of rather friendly wild burros (or donkeys). It's like stepping into an old wild west town while combining a location along Route 66 with all of the usual charm that comes with. It has quite a history that's worth learning about when you visit. While you're there, stop by some of the old shops and restaurants and you'll be glad you did. Oatman is definitely one of the most unusual, yet oddly fun and enjoyable towns in the Grand Canyon State.
What is the smallest town in Arizona?
With so many towns to visit in Arizona for various reasons, not many people think to visit the smallest one of all. A lot of people think of places like Chloride, population 271, as being extremely small. It's not the littlest town by population, however. Hackberry, Arizona, has only 68 residents. Valentine is smaller yet with only 38 people residing in the town. While not many people live there, Valentine is home to some unique locals: exotic animals like tigers at the local Keepers of the Wild Nature Park. The park is a non-profit animal sanctuary you can visit while you're in the tiny town.
