History

The city was founded in 1906 by the United States Steel Corporation as the home for its new plant. The United States Steel Corporation ( is an integrated Steel producer with major production operations in the United States, Canada, and Central Europe The city was named after the chairman of U. S. Steel, Elbert H. Gary. Elbert Henry Gary ( October 8, 1846 – August 15, 1927) was an American lawyer and corporate officer

Among U. S. cities with a population of 100,000 or more, Gary has the highest percentage of African-American residents (as of the 2000 U. African Americans or Black Americans are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa S. census). Gary had one of the nation's first African-American mayors, Richard G. Hatcher, and hosted the ground-breaking 1972 National Black Political Convention. Richard G Hatcher (b July 10 1933 Michigan City Indiana) became the first African-American mayor of Gary Indiana on January 1, 1968 Year 1972 ( MCMLXXII) was a Leap year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. At the same time, Gary suffered from many affluent and middle-class residents leaving Gary and relocating to the surrounding towns and cities. White flight is a term for the demographic trend in which working and Middle-class White people move away from Suburbs Because of the loss of jobs in the city, many people left the area altogether for regions with employment.

Gary's fortunes have risen and fallen with those of the steel industry. In the 1960s, like many other American urban centers, Gary entered a downward spiral of decline. Gary's decline was brought on by the growing competitiveness in the steel industry, which had caused US Steel to lay off many workers from the Gary area.

US Steel continues to be a major steel producer, but with only a fraction of its former level of employment. The United States Steel Corporation ( is an integrated Steel producer with major production operations in the United States, Canada, and Central Europe While Gary has failed to re-establish a manufacturing base since its population peak, two casinos opened along the Gary lakeshore in the 1990s. Today, Gary faces numerous difficulties, including unemployment, major economic problems, and a high rate of crime, though the city has made some progress in addressing these issues since the 1990s. Unemployment occurs when a person is available to work and currently seeking work but the person is without work. In the sociological field, crime is the breach of a rule or Law for which some governing authority or force may ultimately prescribe a Punishment

Meredith Willson's 1957 Broadway musical The Music Man featured the song, "Gary, Indiana," describing the alleged alma mater of lead character Professor Harold Hill ("Gary Music Conservatory, Class of '05!"). Robert Meredith Willson ( 18 May 1902 – 15 June 1984) was an American composer songwriter conductor and playwright The Music Man is a musical with book music and lyrics by Meredith Willson. The joke in Hill's claim, of course, is that the city of Gary wasn't founded until 1906. Wilson's musical, set in 1912, later was the basis of two movies made years apart.
