In 1680 the Pottawatonie Indians came from Wisconsin and lived in this area. In 1830 an Indian village was found just south of 330 and east of Broadway. McGwinn's Village contained a large dancing floor with 16 trails converging, also a burial ground. In 1832 the Indians ceded the area to the U.S. Government. In 1835 Jeremiah Wiggins established Wiggins Point, now known as Merrillville.
