Hebron is a town in Boone Township, Porter County, Indiana, United States.
The area of Hebron was an open prairie interspersed with small groves of trees.
It took the construction of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad in 1863 to open the town to growth.
Hebron became a gateway to the rich hunting grounds of the Grand Kankakee Marsh.
The advent of the draining of the Grand Kankakee Marsh in 1890 increased the traffic and the population of the entire area.
Another spurt of growth occurred from 1900-1912 when the Hebron Opera House was built.
By 1936, three passenger trains a day passed through Hebron headed for Chicago, making access to world markets possible.
