Palmer is an unincorporated community in Winfield Township, Lake County, Indiana.

[3] A sign on Randolph street near the entrance to the town describes the population as "Just The Way We Like It".

It is located approximately one-quarter mile south of the southwestern corner of the Lakes of the Four Seasons housing development, and is bordered on the west and south by the incorporated town of Winfield.

On November 20 of that year, Palmer platted a town on his land, which was promptly adopted as a station by the railroad.

[4] By mid-century, Palmer had a small business district which included a pool hall, two general stores, a telephone company, and a blacksmith shop.
