Shalako is a 1962 Western novel by Louis L'Amour and the name of a town that the author intended to build. It would have been a working town typical of those of the nineteenth-century Western frontier. Funding for the project fell through, and Shalako, which would have been named in honor of the protagonist of the novel, was never built.
