Porter County
Organized in 1836
Named for David Porter
Indiana Dunes State Park, created in 1923 and joined in 1966 by Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, provides a 14,200-acre preserve for more than 1,400 species of plants and animals native to this county. Lake Michigan's beaches and dunes, many of which are part of the park system, offer a summer retreat for visitors and residents. |
