A historic American town with a population of two people will be auctioned off on Wednesday, the auctioneers Williams & Williams said.

The northwestern town of Garryowen, Montana, a little over 3.1 hectares, includes houses, a grocery store, a fast food restaurant, a shop and a post office.

“The town has a population of two, making it one of the smallest in the US,” reads the auction house’s website.

The parcel of land is also situated on the site of the legendary 1876 battle of Little Big Horn, in which US troops led by General George Armstrong Custer were routed by Native American tribes, including the Cheyenne and the Sioux.

The battle, which occurred on June 25 and 26, 1876 near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory, was the most famous action of the Great Sioux War of 1876.

It was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Gall, inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull.

The US Seventh Cavalry, including the Custer Battalion, a force of 700 men led by Gen. Custer, suffered a severe defeat.
