Darfur, MN

united states

This tiny Minnesota farming town of 74 people sits along County Road 17 in Watonwan County, reachable via Highway 60 from larger regional centers. The area's rolling prairie landscape supports extensive corn and soybean agriculture under the state's continental climate. Most notably, Darfur shares its name with the conflict-affected region in Sudan, making it one of Minnesota's most unusually named communities.
