Description

In 1912, the Hammond Times boasted of to be had 10-, 20-, and 40-acre tracts “positioned at the Ridge Road.” That newspaper piece helped sell these tracts as a part of a developing area that had an agriculture base but was once also a part of a region at the verge of joining the Industrial Revolution. The announcement’s predictions rang true and, in a sense, told of the development of a town referred to as Highland, Indiana. To start with, the town had its agricultural roots with it farms, open spaces, and prairies. As the steel mills along Lake Michigan grew into a big manufacturing hub and American society modernized, Highland evolved. The once developing turn-of-the-20th-century small town was a more urban and populated center. This book will show how Highland was probably the most largest and most vibrant towns in Indiana.
