This article appears in Volume V12, Page 900 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HAMMOND , a city of Lake county, Indiana, U.S.A., about 18 m. S.E. of the business centre of Chicago, on the Grand
Calumet
  river. Pop. (189o), 5428; (1900) 12,376, of whom 3156 were foreign-born; (191o, census) 20,925. It is served by no fewer than eight railways approaching Chicago from the
east
 , and by several belt lines. As far as its
industries
  are concerned, it is a part of Chicago, to which fact it owes its rapid growth and its extensive manufacturing establishments, which include slaughtering and packing houses, iron and steel works, chemical works, piano, wagon and carriage factories, printing establishments, flour and
starch
  mills, glue works, breweries and distilleries. In 'goo Hammond was the
principal
  slaughtering and meat-packing centre of the state, but subsequently a large
establishment
  removed from the city, and Hammond's total factory product (all
industries
 ) decreased from $25,070,551 in 1900 to $7,671,203 in 19o5; after 1905 there was renewed growth in the city's manufacturing interests. It has a good water-
supply
  system which is owned by the city. Hammond was first settled about 1868, was named in honour of Abram A. Hammond (acting
governor
  of the state in 186o1861) and was chartered as a city in 1883.
