Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DRO-ECG
EAST CHICAGO , a city of Lake county, Indiana, U.S.A., on Lake Michigan, about 19 m. S.E. of the business centre of Chicago. Pop. (1890) 1255; (1900) 3411 (1331 foreign-born); (1910) 19,098. It is served by several railways, including the
Pennsylvania
 , the
Wabash
 , the Chicago Terminal
Transfer
  (whose shops are here), the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, the Chicago, Indiana & Southern, and the Indiana Harbor railways.
East
  Chicago covers an area whose greatest dimensions are 4 by 32 M. That
part
  of the city along the lake, known as Indiana Harbor,
dates
  from 1901 and has grown very rapidly because of its position at the southernmost
part
  of the
Calumet
 
District
 , and because of the
meeting
  here of railway and lake commerce. A good harbour has been constructed, a new ship canal connecting the harbour with the
Calumet
  river.
East
  Chicago is industrially virtually a part of " Greater " Chicago; among its manufactures are iron and steel, cement, lumber, boilers, hay presses, chains, chemicals and foundry products. East Chicago was chartered as a city in 1893.
