Schererville has served as an agricultural community in northwest Indiana since the 1860s. Named for settler Nicholas Scherer, the town developed in Lake County between the farm country of inland Indiana and the industrial Calumet region. US 30 and US 41 meet at its commercial core, giving this suburb south of Chicago a strongly road-oriented character. Lake Michigan lies to the north, while the broader Calumet area connects Schererville with the Indiana Dunes and the lakeshore’s industrial cities.
