Living in Lake Station, IN

The community of Lake Station was the site of a major steel operation at the turn of the century. At one time, the town was marketed as "East Garv" to attract executives and managers to a bedroom community atmosphere. Even today, the city remains primarily residential and boasts a rich history. According to oral history, Lake Station welcomed Abraham Lincoln as a guest of the Audubon Hotel on more than one occasion. Selected as a Millennium Community by Indiana’s governor, the community has initiated projects that will preserve its heritage, revitalize the infrastructure, and ensure a bright future. Planners are interested in promoting the advantages of Lake Station as an ideal location for quality business and industry that might be attracted to the city’s undeveloped land. The cooperative attitude marking the new millennium is enabling the city to move forward in an atmosphere of careful planning.
