History

Merrillville is located on what used to be woodland that belonged to the Potawatomi Indians, a peace-loving nation of hunters and fishermen. In 1834, a clearing was created for ceremonial purposes and was called McGwinn Village. A year later, a white man by the name of Jeremiah Wiggins settled in the place; McGwinn Village thus gave way to Wiggins Point.[4] Under the name Wiggins Point, the place became a well-known stop for wagon trains heading to Joliet, Illinois along the old Sac Trail (also called the Sauk Trail), which was an old Indian trail. At one time, 16 trails radiated outward from Wiggins Point. In 1838, Wiggins died. Sometime afterwards, local settlers renamed the place Centerville. Later still, it was renamed Merrillville after the brothers Dudley and William Merrill.[4] Dudley Merrill operated a hotel and store in Centerville, and his son John P. Merrill was a Township Trustee.[5] Nearby, in the same former hunting grounds of the Potawatomi Indians, other settlements had sprung up. Near Deep River creek was a settlement named Deep River; near Turkey Creek was another settlement with that creek's name. Other settlements included Ainsworth, Lottaville, and Rexville. At one time, the post office for the area was named Lottaville. In 1848, all of these settlements, including Merrillville (that is, the old McGwinn Village) were collected into one and called Ross Township. As time went by, bits and pieces of Ross Township were taken by Hobart and Crown Point when those towns incorporated. In 1971, the area officially became Merrillville (which now includes the old Merrillville as well as other settlements nearby) and was incorporated as a town under Indiana law.[4] At one time, Merrillville was known as the "largest town" in the U.S., with that distinction now going to Gilbert, Arizona. In 1993, a large unincorporated area of Lake County along US 30, east of Mississippi St. and west of Indiana 51 was annexed by the neighboring city of Hobart. The residents of this area, although living in unincorporated Ross Township, associated themselves with Merrillville. This is due to the fact that they were served by Merrillville schools and Post Office. As the area continues to be served by the Merrillville post office, local residents and businesses continue to identify themselves as being in Merrillville rather than Hobart. Due to the unique shape of the annexed areas, someone travelling west on U.S. 30 will enter Lake County in Merrillville, then cross into Hobart, then cross into Merrillville again. In 2009, a pedestrian bridge at Hidden Lake Park collapsed, injuring at least 25 people.[6] The catastrophe occurred around 10 PM after the annual Fourth of July fireworks display,[7] when several dozen residents of Merrillville attempted to cross the wood suspension bridge.[8] Police officers stationed at either side of the bridge were unable to stop the advancing parkgoers, and the 30 year old bridge collapsed, sending somewhere around fifty people into the waters of Hidden Lake.[9] Robert Walker described how after the collapse, "People were grasping and hanging onto the bridge itself."[10] “There was massive screaming,” said Michael Moses, who was on the bridge with his two children. “It was a terrifying situation.”[11] Joshua Pecenica confirmed, “People were screaming."[12]
