A bit about Hebron
Hebron is a small town located at southern part of Porter County, Indiana. Hebron is located in the Northwest part of Indiana aka "Da Region." We are an hour away from Chicago and two and half hours north of Indianapolis.

Hebron is an agricultural town, with farm fields and dairy farms and little industry. The area that is now Hebron was first settled in 1835. Through the 19th century people came to Hebron, and the town was incorporated in 1890 with a population was 663. Hebron was a way-station for stage coaches until a railroad was built in Hebron.

The population of Hebron is around 4,000, so we are small. Our county seat is Valparaiso with a population of 40,000 so that is the largest town near us. The total county population is 150,000.
