The correct answer is Hawkins, Indiana
So why is this answer correct? : The fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, will never be the same. Set in the 1980s, the Netflix series “Stranger Things” follows a group of preteens through terrifying run-ins with sinister monsters, secret government operations, and a portal to another world. The epicenter of these strange events is Hawkins, a fictional town situated 80 miles outside of Indianapolis. Most of the filming, including the downtown scenes of Hawkins, actually took place in Atlanta, Georgia.
