Just Where is Buford, Wyoming? And How in Hell Did Two Vietnamese Buy It? [VIDEO]

Two Vietnamese buyers are now the new owners of the smallest town in the U.S. , Buford, Wyoming, after buying it this week for $900,000.

Buford, Wyo., population 1, is located halfway between Laramie and Cheyenne. There's just one house, one gas station, and a few little buildings sitting on just 10 acres of land on Interstate 80.

In 1980, Don Sammons moved there with his wife and son and bought the town himself in 1990. He decided to sell it so he could move closer to his son, who resides Colorado.

Yesterday, bidding started at $100,000 but quickly climbed to $900,000, the final selling price. Two unnamed businessmen from Vietnam saw online news stories about the auction, flew in and bought it.

I have never been to law school and might be wrong in my assumption of this question but, is it legal to sell any part of the United States to people from another country who are not Americans? Please leave your comments below!

So two guys in another country see this website, get on a plane real quick, fly to America and buy a town in the middle of nowhere! What's up with that?

Are they getting ready for something big that we better be watching out for? Something is up in Buford, Wyoming!

Tonjah Andrews, a real estate broker from Cheyenne who was hired to represent the men, said she would not disclose their names. She said the men flew in from Vietnam after learning about the auction from online news stories.
She would not comment on what the men plan to do with the town.

Take a look at a news story video about Buford below.

The Associated Press says, "The buyer attended the auction in person but declined to meet with the media or to be identified. Sammons and others involved in the auction would not discuss the buyer's plans for Buford."
