General Review
This locality was first called West Hammond, later incorporated as the Village of West Hammond, still later
incorporated as the City of West Hammond, and in 1925 the name was changed to Calumet City. It is in Cook County, 221/2 miles from the center of Chicago. It adjoins Chi- cago on the north, and Hammond on the east. Residents of Calumet City are 20 minutes' ride from 130 differ- ent industries of the Calumet Dis- trict. The city is free of industrial gases and therefore very desirable for residential purposes.
Joining Hammond and Chicago, Calumet City is served with the best of facilities. Theatres, banks, hos- pitals and churches of Hammond are closer to the whole population of Cal- umet City than to the people of Ham- mond. The north and west sides of the city have many desirable sites for industrial expansion and develop- ment. City improvements are avail- able in enough vacant property to double the population with new homes without additional facilities. For years Calumet City has drawn home-owners due to low taxes, fine water, good streets and tolerant mu- nicipal supervision of business.
Calumet City is served by three lo- cal bus companies, and is on the route of four transcontinental air lines, with an airport just outside the city limits.
Being a "City of Homes," Calumet City has stood out as a desirable lo- cation for residential purposes. Many business men who have their offices and industries across the line in Hammond and Chicago, reside in Cal- umet City. Most of the population resides within walking distance of the business center of Hammond. The city's liberal policies make it a de- sirable location for factories as well as homes. Property has a ready mar- ket in Calumet City.
