The city of Gary, Indiana, was named after Elbert Henry Gary, who was the chairman of the United States Steel Corporation. The city was founded in 1906 primarily to serve the steel mill established by U.S. Steel. The choice of name reflected the company's significance in the city's development and economy. Gary was designed as a model industrial city, attracting workers to support the booming steel industry.
