About Gary, Indiana
Gary is a city of 69,093 people in Lake County, on the southern shore of Lake Michigan. U.S. Steel built it in 1906 beside Gary Works, its new steel plant, and named it for Elbert Henry Gary, the lawyer who was the corporation's founding chairman. Work crews had barely started on the mills when a Methodist Episcopal church was organized in October 1906.
Steel jobs made the city grow fast. In 1920, 29.7% of its people had been born abroad, most of them in eastern Europe, and Black families came north from the South in the Great Migration. By 1930 Gary passed 100,000 people for the first time and was the fifth largest city in Indiana. Its fortunes then rose and fell with steel, and Gary Works went from over 30,000 workers in 1970 to 2,246 in 2023.
- The 1919 steel strikeDuring the steel strike of 1919, a riot broke out on October 4 on Broadway, the main street through downtown, as strikers fought strikebreakers hired from outside the city. Three days later Governor James P. Goodrich declared martial law. Soon more than 4,000 federal troops arrived under Major General Leonard Wood, and they restored order.
- Thirty-eight nationalities in schoolThe young city's people came from at least thirty-eight nationalities. In 1913-14 its schools enrolled 1,612 children at Froebel and 800 at Emerson, and the city spent $94,696.58 that year improving its school buildings. In 1945 Gary was the first Midwestern city to integrate its public schools fully.
- Hatcher and the 1972 conventionGary voters chose Richard G. Hatcher, one of the first African-American mayors in the nation. In 1972 the city hosted the National Black Political Convention, the first and largest of its kind. Karen Freeman-Wilson later won with 87 percent of the vote and took office in January 2012 as the first woman elected mayor of Gary.
- Hometown of the JacksonsGary is the birthplace of the Jackson family of entertainers, whose members include Michael and Janet Jackson. When the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana opened in Gary in May 2021, it put memorabilia from the Jackson 5 on display.
