With an unofficial population of 6, it originated as a campground for prospectors, and later was a freight camp for the building of the Theodore Roosevelt Dam. It is now owned and operated by Alvin Ross, a farmer from Indiana who purchased the town – which consists primarily of a bar/restaurant, a country store and a mercantile/gift shop – in 1998.The Tortilla Flat Superstition Saloon was supposedly founded by Jakob Waltz, the "Old Dutchman" of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine. (Description source: Sign on site.) The interior walls of the saloon are covered in dollar bills.
