The legendary Gunfight at the O. K. Corral took place in what town?

The legendary gunfight at the OK Corral took place in Tombstone, Arizona Territory on October 26, 1881. Although not widely known until the 1930's, when Wyatt Earp's biography was published, it has become the Wild West's most famous gunfight and is an iconic moment in American lore. It has become immortalized in several movies.

While leaving a lasting impression, it took no more than 30 seconds. The momentary explosion had a long simmering history. The conflict was in so many ways a vivid illustration of the Wild West. The main protagonists represented the divergent social groups thrown together in the Wild West. The Earps were from the North, town folk, and lawmen. The Clantons were from the South, cowboys, and outlaws. But, the Earps did supplement their livelihood as saloon owners and pimps. Doc Holliday, present at the fight as an Earp ally, was from Georgia.

Facing off in a lot, the participants were no more than 6-10 feet away from each other. Five cowboys faced four lawmen. But the cowboys were at a disadvantage, as they were boxed in and taken by surprise. An attempt to disarm the Cowboys, the Clantons and MacLaurys, quickly escalated. Frank and Tom McLaury, as well as Billy Clanton, were killed. Billy Clanton and Billy Clairborne, unarmed, fled as the shots rang out. Virgil and Morgan Earp, as well as Doc Holliday were wounded. Wyatt Earp was left without a scratch.
