Zurich (formerly, Alvord[1] and Station[2]) is a former settlement in Inyo County, California.

[3] It is located 2 miles (3 km) northeast of Big Pine.

[2] Zurich was established in 1884 as Alvord, but was renamed in 1923 as Zurich for the jagged peaks of the nearby White Mountains, since during the winter, the snow on the mountain peaks reminded a local Swiss resident of the Alps.

The town was established as the first stop of the Carson and Colorado Railway which ran to Keeler.
