Robertsdale (Hammond)

Robertsdale is a neighborhood in northernmost Hammond, Indiana, north of 129th Street and south of Lake Michigan.

[3] In the early 20th century, Whiting and Robertsdale shared a common ethnic composition: nearly 90% Slavic and 50% Slovak.

The portion of the neighborhood near the northern tip of Wolf Lake corresponds to the former town of Roby.

The name "Roby" continued long after the town was absorbed into Hammond, and the area was known in the early 20th century as a criminal haven.

Local attractions include the Horseshoe Hammond casino, on the Lake Michigan shore.
