Hobart

Home of the Brickies! Earned from the former brickyards that manufactured bricks for all of the Midwest, the schools adopted this now infamous name to honor their workers. Hobart has become a hub for business, family, and recreation offering a little something for everyone, all within 38 miles of Chicago. The historic downtown is a quaint, quiet community with small restaurants and specialty stores. At the lakefront, you’ll find summertime concerts, duck races, and endless additional activities. In Hobart, you will discover great retail shopping, numerous community parks for enjoying nature and the outdoors, and fabulous schools and community services thought to be among the best in Northwest Indiana.
