Hebron, IN
|
Porter County, 45 miles SE of the Loop. An 1832
treaty
with the
Potawatomi
opened what is now Hebron to U.S. settlement, but only the 1863 arrival of the Pittsburgh, Chicago & St. Louis
Railroad
motivated significant growth. Incorporated in 1890, Hebron has become a bedroom community, a fact confirmed by the proliferation of
subdivisions
and
shopping centers
there.
