Hammond: Industrial Gateway on the Illinois Border
Hammond occupies the far northwest corner of Indiana, directly adjacent to the Illinois state line and the southern edge of Chicago. The city was founded in 1851 by Marcus Towle and George Hammond, a Detroit butcher who built a slaughterhouse along the Grand Calumet River. Meatpacking, steel, and rail yards defined Hammond through the early and mid-twentieth century.
The Horseshoe Hammond casino, now rebranded as Horseshoe Indianapolis after corporate changes, opened in 1996 along the Lake Michigan shoreline and became one of the highest-grossing casinos in the Midwest. Gaming revenue has been a significant source of local tax income.
Purdue University Northwest maintains a campus in Hammond, enrolling several thousand students across engineering, nursing, and business programs. The city's population of approximately 77,600 has declined from its mid-century peak but remains among the largest in northwest Indiana.
