East Arm Little Calumet River
The East Arm Little Calumet River, also known as the Little Calumet River East Branch, is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed May 19, 2011〕 portion of the Little Calumet River that begins just east of Holmesville, Indiana in New Durham Township in LaPorte County and flows west to Porter County and the Port of Indiana-Burns Waterway.〔
==History==
Although its origins are unclear, the Calumet name seems to reflect the nature of the river. It may have come from the Old French word ''chalemel'', which has to do with reeds, or it might be a corruption of the Potawatomi word ''gekelemuk'', which means "a low body of deep still water".
In 1822 Joseph Bailly (born Honore Gratien Joseph Bailly de Messein) established a homestead and fur trading business at the now historic Bailly Homestead, a part of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, on the east bank of the Little Calumet River in Porter, Indiana. The Potawatomis brought the beaver pelts by canoe to Bailly in the spring of the year and then he shipped them to Mackinac, from whence they were traded to Montreal and then Europe. By 1830, the beavers were depleted and Bailly opened a tavern on the Fort Dearborn to Detroit Road (present day U.S. Hwy. 12).〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=National Park Service )〕 The fur trading era in northwestern Indiana had come to an end.
Until 1926 the river continued west to Illinois as the Little Calumet River proper, but excavation of the Burns Waterway caused the flow from the eastern arm of the Little Calumet River to be diverted directly into Lake Michigan at Burns Harbor, Indiana.
