Munster, Indiana is known as "The Town Along the Ridge." Munster is located at a point of the ancient shores of Lake Michigan which is today Ridge Road. The earliest known inhabitants of the area were the Potawatomi. Although a village did not exist in what was to become Munster Town boundaries, a trail along the dry sandy ridge now known as Ridge Road was well traveled by the tribe. Downtown Munster, the town hall, police and fire departments, Munster's Centre for the Visual and Performing Arts, the Munster 46321 post office, the Chabad House, and the first and only "Munster General Store" are located on Ridge Road. In the late 1600's and early 1700's what is today Munster was part of a French territory. In the 1760's the British claimed the land where the Potawatomi lived part of the British Empire. Twenty years later George Rogers Clark overran the British claiming the land for the new and Independent country known as the United States of America. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
