Welcome to Chesterton
The hustling, bustling, vibrant town we know and love began in 1852, with the arrival to Northern Indiana of the Lake Shore and Michigan Railroad Line. The proximity to easy transportation helped industry in the town to grow. After seventeen years, the town became incorporated with the name we know today: Chesterton, Indiana.
