Munster, Indiana

by Edward N. Hmurovic

Overview

Munster, Indiana was referred to as Strathmore on early railroad maps as workers would tirelessly tie "one strath more."

When a young man from the Netherlands by the name of Jacob Munster opened Munster's General Store, complete with a small U.S. Postal Station in the back, more residents populated the area, and the "Town of Munster" was founded in 1907. Munster, Indiana is a photographic tour of the places, people, and events that have shaped the Town of Munster from the 1850s onward. Nearly 250 historically significant images capture the town's growth from a simple farming community to the bustling town it is today.
