Hammond

Hammond lies along the Grand Calumet River in northwestern Indiana, where the industrial Calumet corridor extends toward the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Part of the Chicago metropolitan area, it developed with the rail lines, steel mills and factories that transformed this corner of the Midwest. The city is home to the Hammond campus of Purdue University Northwest, while the Wolf Lake area preserves wetlands and open water near the Illinois border. Its urban grid, industrial legacy and proximity to the lake distinguish Hammond from Indiana’s inland cities.
