Once a Potawatomi province, the previously forested area was cleared and settled during the mid-1800s. The region was originally called McGwinn Village, but its name changed first to Wiggins Point and then to Centerville. The region was known for its 16 roads, which provided transportation between local trading posts. When the Merrill brothers moved to town, the region's name was changed to Merrillville. Although it has a rich history, Merrillville was not incorporated as a town until 1971.
Merrillville's high quality of life is reflected in its state-of-the-art parks and recreation department. Numerous parks across the area offer playgrounds, picnic shelters and gazebos, sports facilities, open space and even public halls for residents' weddings, dances, reunions and other needs. Merrillville's parks are as diverse in size as they are in function. Pruzin Community Center offers 22 acres of park space, while Kurtis Park offers just 0.8 acres.
Although it is a small city, Merrillville is a regional employment center. According to City-Data, the city's population increases by about 23 percent on workdays due to commuting. The mean travel time to work for local residents is about 30 minutes.
Merrillville's small-town size lends itself to a lack of major attractions. However, numerous small community gatherings give residents a chance to meet, socialize and enjoy Merrillville life. The nearby Ross Township Historical society also offers a glimpse into the region's past.
