The U.S. Geological Survey records Darby as a populated place. Its GNIS reference point is listed under the county label Wilkes County, North Carolina, on the Grandin map. This identifies a geographic reference point, not the full community boundary, current administrative boundaries, or its legal incorporation status. Use the locality and county references below when checking an address or distinguishing similarly named places.
