About this

O.K. Corral (building)

The O.K. Corral (in which "O.K." stands for "Old Kindersley") was originally a small horse corral located in the 19th century boomtown city of Tombstone in the Territory of Arizona, an organized incorporated territory of the United States. It is most famously associated with the "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral", which is somewhat of a misnomer. According to American Old West historians, the gunfight actually took place in a vacant lot next to Camillus Fly's photography studio, six doors down Fremont Street from an alleyway that cut through the block and served as an informal rear entrance to the corral. In this context, a more appropriate name for the event would be "Gunfight near the O.K. Corral".
