Welcome to Chesterton
The hustling, bustling, vibrant town we know and love began in 1852, with the arrival to Northern Indiana of the Lake Shore and Michigan Railroad Line. The proximity to easy transportation helped industry in the town to grow. After seventeen years, the town became incorporated with the name we know today: Chesterton, Indiana.

Take the Lawn to Lake Pledge Today
The Town of Chesterton Storm Water Utility encourages residents and businesses to take a healthier, more natural approach to lawn care. Following on the heels of the Leave It On The Lawn program, we are also promoting the new Lawn to Lake program. This program promotes landscape practices that reduce pollution, particularly in our waterways. Take the Lawn to Lake Pledge. The pledge will show your commitment to practicing natural lawn care and reducing nutrients you put on the ground. There is a link to the Lawn to Lake Guidebook, a well thought guide to practicable lawn and landscape practices.
