Munster, Indiana, is really a part of the larger Chicago metroplex, located in Lake County, Indiana, around 30 miles from the Chicago Loop. Many may recognize Munster by its nickname, the “Town on the Ridge,” since it sits on Ridge Road as well as on the Illinois state line. Gary, Indiana, is also a stone’s throw away. It’s a small town, only a little over 7 square miles, and it’s even smaller when you consider that Munster has 3 lakes within its jurisdictional boundaries. People have lived here, by these little lakes, for centuries: the Potawatomi Indian Tribe is considered to the be earliest known inhabitants of the area. Shortly before the American Civil War, as the federal government relocated the Potawatomi Indian Tribe to the Oklahoma Territory, a Dutch settler named Jacob Munster moved to the area to operate a general store to serve new settlers coming to live in the area. Around 40 years later, the community agreed to name their town Munster in honor of their shopkeeper. According to the U.S. Census, around 25,000 people live in Munster today. Many residents of Munster commute outside the city for work but choose to raise their families and have their homes in this small community. The experienced Munster injury lawyers of Allen Law Group serve this community. Munster enjoys a growing reputation as a good place to raise a family.
