Hawkins, Indiana, is a town in Roane County, Indiana, in the United States on planet Earth, and is the main setting for thе Netflix
hit Stranger Things.
History[]
Hawkins was a simple little town where nothing really happened; a person disappeared here in 1923, and another person committed suicide in 1961. Hawkins National Laboratory was built near the town in the 1950's. Everything changed, however, in November of 1983, when several paranormal and bizarre events connected to a parallel dimension began to occur in the town, events that continued into November of 1984, and still may be continuing to this day.
