History
An early depot stop on the Michigan Central Railroads Detroit to Chicago line through the Calumet region, the village was first named when George Earle mapped out a town of about 6,500 acres in 1852, dubbing it Lake Station. Twists of fate have their effect to this day. Being a bedroom community, Lake Station did welcome Abraham Lincoln to its Audubon Hotel perhaps on more than one occasion according to oral history. But George Pullman, who tried to negotiate for land in Lake Station for his proposed railcar company, never struck a deal and set up shop on the south side of Chicago instead.Today, Lake Station remains a mostly residential community. George Mortimer Pullman (March 3, 1831 – October 19, 1897) was an American inventor and industrialist. ...
