16 Dodge City, Kansas
If this legendary Old Western settlement's cowboy history isn't enough to lasso your interest, its old nickname, “The Wickedest Little City in America,” definitely will. First populated by cowboys and gamblers, this town's gunslinging, frontier past is recreated with daily gunfight reenactments and historic buildings, including the Fort Dodge Jail.
Fun fact: the saying “Get the hell out of Dodge!” is a reference to Dodge City, which was the cliche setting for 20th-century Western movies.
