About Darwin
Tucked into the rugged desert of Inyo County near Death Valley, Darwin is a tiny, off-the-grid community home to just a few dozen residents. Originally founded as an 1870s silver and lead mining camp, the settlement now attracts artists, retirees, and anyone looking for total peace and quiet. Daily life here revolves around sweeping desert horizons, starry night skies, and true remote living.
