Mills Darden (October 7, 1799 – January 23, 1857[1]) was an American who became famous as one of the largest men ever in human history. His enormous size both in terms of his body weight and height made him one of the biggest humans to have ever lived. He was officially confirmed to have stood at a height of 7 ft 6 in (229 cm) tall[2] and weighed around 860 to 1,070 lb (390 to 490 kg), and possibly even more; his average weight was 1,049 lb (476 kg).[3] These figures would have given him a body mass index of 74.6–92.9.[4]
Mills (or Miles) Darden was born on October 7, 1799, near Rich Square, North Carolina, United States, to John and Mary Darden. He was married at least once and had several children. His wife Mary died in 1837 aged about 40.[1]
He died on January 23, 1857. He was buried in Lexington, Tennessee.[1] His grave, and his wife's, have been restored by the local Development Authority.[5] No known verifiable photo remains of him.
