Calumet City Taxi to O’Hare Airport
24/7 flat-rate airport transportation from Calumet City to O’Hare International — upfront pricing, no surge, no app-driver roulette.
The community now known as Calumet City first incorporated on February 13, 1893, as West Hammond — formed when the villages of Schrumville and Sobieski Park merged along the Illinois-Indiana state line. The town took on a rougher reputation in its early decades, and in the mid-20th century it worked deliberately to change that image, adopting the name Calumet City in the 1920s and, decades later, redeveloping its old commercial strip into the family-oriented community it is today. Official city information is available on Calumet City’s official site.
Today Calumet City is home to about 36,000 residents on 7.20 square miles along the state line, and its most famous landmarks aren’t buildings or businesses — they’re a pair of water towers. Notable natives include jazz drummer Gene Krupa and former NFL quarterback Mike Tomczak, and River Oaks Mall has made the city a regional shopping destination for the south suburbs.
