Darlington is a town in Franklin Township, Montgomery County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

[7] The Pennsylvania Railroad (Vandalia district) made stops in Darlington for many years from the late 19th century up until the 1960s.

Many people in Darlington would ride the PRR to Lake Maxinkuckee on weekends during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Vandalia District started southwest of Terre Haute and bisected Montgomery County from Waveland, through Crawfordsville, to Darlington, continuing on to Colfax, where it crossed the NYC Big Four branch.

A man named Arthur Baird II killed his parents, Arthur and Katherine, and his pregnant wife Nadine on September 6–7, 1985; this was the first triple murder to occur in Montgomery County, as well as the first murder in the county since 1978.

[8] On June 2, 1990, an F-3 tornado touched down southwest of Darlington and destroyed multiple homes, barns, and property around the area.

Indiana State Road 47 runs along the southern edge of the town, leading southwest 9 miles (14 km) to Crawfordsville and east the same distance to Thorntown.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Darlington has a total area of 0.33 square miles (0.85 km2), all land.

Sugar Creek is a southwest-flowing tributary of the Wabash River, which it joins north of Montezuma.

Early each fall, the town hosts Darlington Fish Fry & Festival in the downtown areas.

The Darlington Covered Bridge is 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the center of town.

It was built as a result of donations from Darlington citizens who saw a need for a bridge over Sugar Creek and raised $1,585 in 1866.

[11] As of January 2012, the Montgomery County Commissioners had transferred over $30,000 in funds to the town of Darlington for the restoration and preservation of the historic bridge.
