About Gary

Gary is a city in lake county, indiana, united states, 25 miles from downtown chicago, illinois. Gary is adjacent to the indiana dunes national park and borders southern lake michigan. Gary was named after lawyer elbert henry gary, who was the founding chairman of the united states steel corporation. The city is known for its large steel mills, and as the birthplace of the jackson 5 music group. The population of gary was 80,294 at the 2010 census, making it the ninth-largest city in the state of indiana. It was a prosperous city from the 1920s through the mid-1960s due to its booming steel industry, but overseas competition and restructuring of the steel industry resulted in a decline and a severe loss of jobs. Since the late 1960s, gary has suffered drastic population loss, falling by 55 percent from its peak of 178,320 in 1960. The city faces the difficulties of many rust belt cities, including unemployment, decaying infrastructure, and low literacy and educational attainment levels. It is estimated that nearly one-third of all houses in the city are unoccupied or abandoned. The city is located at the southern end of the former lake bed of the prehistoric lake chicago, and the current lake michigan. Most of the city’s soil, to nearly one foot below the surface, is pure sand. The sand beneath gary, and on its beaches, is of such high quality that in years past it was mined for the manufacture of glass. The change in the economy and resulting loss of jobs has caused a drop in population by more than half since its peak in 1960.
