Discover Hammond
Before European settlement the Hammond area, between the Grand and Little Calumet rivers at the south end of Lake Michigan, was a crossroads for Native tribes, explorers, stagecoach lines and supply routes to the West. The first residents of European descent, German immigrant farmers, arrived around 1847. Its convenient location and abundant fresh water from the lake led to industrialization beginning in 1869, when the George H. Hammond Company meat-packing plant followed merchants and farmers to the area. Hammond was incorporated on April 21, 1884, and named for the Detroit butcher. It is one of the oldest cities in Lake County, after Crown Point, founded in 1834.
More about Hammond
George Henry Hammond was a pioneer of refrigerated railcars for shipping fresh meat. He first used the method with his small Detroit packing company and received a patent for a refrigerator car design in 1868. In the early 1870s he built a new plant in northern Indiana along the Michigan Central Railroad, and by 1873 the company was selling $1 million worth of meat a year, nearly $2 million by 1875. Its Hammond packing house rivaled those at Chicago's Union Stock Yard, and by the mid-1880s, when it opened a plant in Omaha, the company was slaughtering more than 100,000 cattle a year and owned 800 refrigerator cars. After Hammond's death in 1886 the company declined, and around 1900 the large Chicago packers acquired it and merged it into their National Packing Company. The Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago Electric Railway ran trolleys from 1893 to 1940. Sources Wikipedia: Hammond, Indiana
