Hawkins (Stranger Things)

Hawkins, Indiana is a fictional town on Netflix's Stranger Things. Located in Roane County, Indiana, it may seem like an ordinary town but, in truth, it is a hot bed for the supernatural. However, most of its inhabitants are unaware of this, except a group of children who live in the town known as the Party. They dedicate themselves to protecting Hawkins from the supernatural threats of the Upside Down entity known as the Mind Flayer and its messenger, Vecna from destroying humanity and protect their small town.
