Hebron, Indiana, in Porter county
The History of Hebron is intertwined with that of Boone Township. For this reason, both will be mentioned here. The land in Boone Township was opened for settlement by virtue of a treaty between the United Sates Government and the Pottawattomi Indians in 1832. In the early spring of 1835, Judge Jessie Johnson, first judge of Porter County's Probate Court, with his family became the first white settlers in Boone Township. He was closely followed by the Isaac Cornell Family who settled on land just east of Hebron. The Semian Bryant family followed, settling on land one and one half miles south of Hebron.
