Calumet City

Built around a late-19th-century townsite on the Illinois–Indiana state line, Calumet City grew into a densely settled suburb in Chicago’s Southland. The Little Calumet River traces the city’s northern side, while Indiana lies immediately to the east, placing the community within a cross-border urban corridor. Originally known as West Hammond, it adopted the name Calumet City in 1924, reflecting its early ties to neighboring Hammond. River Oaks Center remains a major retail landmark along Torrence Avenue.
