In 1847, at the south end of Lake Michigan, German immigrants settled the region between the Little Calumet and Grand Rivers. It wasn’t until a certain butcher by the name of George H. Hammond brought his meat packing business to the area that the region adopted its permanent name and incorporated in 1884. Today Hammond is a destination for avid gamers, both local and those escaping the big city, and whether you work locally or your career takes you via easy commute into the big city of Chicago, it’s a place many call home.
