Dolomite is an unincorporated community in Inyo County, California. It is located on the Southern Pacific Railroad 6.5miles south of New York Butte in the Owens Valley, at an elevation of 3674 feet (1120 m).
Originally, in 1883, a siding on the Carson and Colorado Railroad, the town developed in 1885, when the Inyo Marble Company opened a quarry at the site.
