Buford, Wyoming, a town billed as the smallest in the US has been sold at auction for US$900,000, the BBC reported.

Two unidentified Vietnamese men placed the winning bid for Buford on Thursday.

The town includes a school house, a petrol station, a three-bedroom home, a general store, a mobile-phone tower and about four hectares of land.

Don Sammons, Buford's former owner and only resident, auctioned it off at a starting price of US$100,000.

The establishment of Buford dates back to the construction of the transcontinental railroad and at one time the town had a population of about 2,000.
