Explore Hinkley, CA

Hinkley, CA is a small unincorporated community located in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County. It gained national attention in the 1990s due to a high-profile legal case involving the contamination of its groundwater by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The case was made famous by the film "Erin Brockovich" and brought awareness to the health risks associated with exposure to toxic chemicals. Despite the contamination, Hinkley remains home to a small population and is surrounded by vast desert landscapes, making it a unique and isolated community in Southern California.
