Aultman was a settlement now within the town of Camp Verde in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States.[2] It has an estimated elevation of 3,281 feet (1,000 m) above sea level.[1]

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]
