Griffith, Indiana, a little more ...

Griffith is a town in Lake County. It is a part of the Chicago metropolitan area.

Griffith is surrounded by the town and towns of Highland, Indiana, to the west, the city of Hammond, Indiana, to the north-west, the city of Gary, Indiana, to the north, the town of Schererville, Indiana, to the south, and unincorporated Calumet Township to the east. The town boundaries incorporate ancient Calumet Shore lines of Lake Michigan.

It's in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most baseball diamonds for its population, and for the most train tracks to intersect at one point. In its heyday, Griffith saw more than 180 trains pass through its town boundaries.

It was nearly called Dwiggin's Junction but it is known today best as Griffith.
