Tremont, Indiana

Tremont, Indiana, is a ghost town formerly located in what is now the Indiana Dunes State Park and Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in Westchester Township in northern Porter County, Indiana. It was first established in 1833. It was located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 12 and County Road 100 East, near Indiana 49. The community is named for three massive sand dunes that are now contained within the State park. They are Mount Tom ( above the surrounding area), Mount Holden , and Mount Green .〔Powell A. Moore; The Calumet Region, Indiana's Last Frontier; Indiana Historical Bureau, 1959, reprinted 1991.〕
==History==
Tremont was originally referred to as New City West because City West was a settlement on the nearby shore of Lake Michigan that seemed prosperous in the mid-1830s. City West intended to become a large harbor settlement to rival Chicago, which was a small town at the time and had not yet been incorporated. However, after the Panic of 1837, City West was abandoned, becoming a ghost town without a single resident, and subsequently burnt to the ground. Despite the end of its namesake, New City West still maintained the City West Post Office and City West School. New City West became commonly called Tremont in approximately 1876 due to the establishment of one or more rail lines that used this name for their local stations.〔Bowers, John O. 1929. "Dream Cities of the Calumet," in (pp. 174-198) History of Lake County. Volume 10. Gary, Indiana: Lake County Historical Association (Calumet Press). 223 p.〕
Tremont's most important rail service was provided by the South Shore Line, an electric interurban railroad line that skirted the heart of the Indiana Dunes. For this reason, descriptions of the history of the Dunes often mention Tremont. For example, the ''Prairie Club'' beach house built in 1913 by landscape preservationist Jens Jensen and a group of friends was built in Tremont, close to the rail line.〔"Reading 3: Beauty of the Wild", U.S. National Park Service, accessed November 21, 2008.()〕
Tremont was always an unincorporated community, but grew to some extent during the early twentieth century and had its own commuter railroad station on the South Shore. The community soon dwindled, however, and by 1929, "scarcely a building of New City West survived."〔 The creation of the National Lakeshore in the 1960s, and subsequent land condemnation proceedings, caused the remaining community to disperse.
