About Carbon

Just six miles north of Brazil in Clay County, Carbon is a small, peaceful town with a lot of quiet charm. It got its start in the 1870s as a hub for local coal mines and the railroad, though today it is a calm, low-key community surrounded by open countryside. For newcomers looking for a slower pace of life, Carbon offers plenty of space and privacy while keeping you within easy reach of nearby stores, schools, and jobs.
