Remark: The Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor was founded in 1965 along the southern shore of Lake Michigan, approximately at the junction of Indiana State Road 249 and U.S. Route 12. The port is embraced by two municipalities - Portage and Burns Harbor, Indiana, both located in Porter County.

Historically, this area was referred to as the Central Dunes region of the Indiana Dunes. Octave Chanute, an aviation pioneer, conducted numerous hang gliding experiments on the dunes in this area during the 1890s.

Creation of the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor facility was controversial due to the environmentally sensitive nature of the area. The United Steelworkers Union, however, argued that creation of the port facility would increase national security due to increased steel production and create high-paying jobs.

When created, the port served the Midwest Steel Division of National Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel Corporation in 2022) to the west, Bethlehem Steel Corporation (Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc. in 2022) to the east, and the Bailly Generating Plant of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company (owned by NiSource). also to the east.
