}}Brown (formerly, Siding 18, Front, and Mount Owen)[2] is an unincorporated community in Kern County, California.[1] It is located on the Southern Pacific Railroad {{convert|9|mi|km|0}} north-northwest of Inyokern,[2] at an elevation of 2392 feet (729 m).[1]

The Brown post office opened in 1909, changed its name to Mount Owen in 1948, and closed in 1950.[2] Originally called Siding 18 because the place was on the railroad built to support construction of the Owens Valley aqueduct.[2] The name Brown honors George Brown, hotelier.[2]
