History

Named after a resident, it had a post office between 1896 and 1916.[3]

In 1910, Aultman was originally planned to be the site of a territorial highway bridge spanning the Verde River. However, a petition circulated in Camp Verde, Arizona, to relocate the highway and bridge to Camp Verde; Camp Verde was selected as the bridge site.[4]

In the 1920s, the Aultman schoolhouse doubled as a polling location.[5]

Aultman's population was 20 in 1940.[6]
