Darwin, Texas

Darwin[1] was a coal mining town near Laredo in west central Webb County, Texas, United States at the confluence of the Rio Grande and Santo Tomas creek, near the present day Colombia-Solidarity International Bridge.

It was named after David Darwin Davis, the Cannel Coal Company owner.

As of 1914, the town's population had grown to 800 and the Rio Grande and Eagle Pass Railroad was built to transport the coal extracted in nearby mines.

Today, Darwin is a ghost town, of which all that remains is a cemetery.
