Calumet City, Residential suburb in Cook County, Illinois.
Calumet City extends over 7.32 square miles along the Illinois-Indiana border, next to the Little Calumet River southeast of Lake Calumet.
German immigrant Hans Johann Schrum established the first settlement in the 1860s, creating a maple syrup production facility and pickle manufacturing operation.
The name Calumet derives from Native American and French terms referring to ceremonial pipes used in traditional peace negotiations.
The city maintains two separate school districts for elementary education and provides numerous municipal services through its Department of Economic Development.
Two large water towers decorated with smiley faces stand as recognizable landmarks throughout the community.
