Hammond is a city in Lake County, Ind. It has a population of 83,048 and a median household income of $35,528.
Incorporated in 1884, the first permanent residents arrived around 1847 to settle on land between the Grand and Little Calumet rivers, on the south end of Lake Michigan. Hammond’s first residents were German farmers, who arrived from Europe looking for land and opportunity.
Before that time, the area was a crossroad for Indian tribes, explorers, stagecoach lines and supply lines to the west. Convenient location and abundant fresh water from Lake Michigan led to the beginning of Hammond's industrialization in 1869, when the G.H. Hammond Company packing house followed merchants and farmers to the area. Hammond is the oldest city in Lake County.
