The Darwin Ferry was established in 1818 by a man named John McClure. Today it is named after the famed author and naturalist Charles Darwin. The ferry has been operating for more than 140 years. Today it is the only ferry left operating on the river.

The main reason the ferry began to operate was to benefit farmers. This was so that the farmers could save time and cut down on their expenses.Over the years, the ferry has had many operators. Many of the past senators and representatives of the State of Illinois and Indiana have even ridden across the Wabash River on the Darwin Ferry.
