Welcome to the Town of Trail Creek Website.
You'll find a brief history of our community as well as a listing of all
our Boards and Commissions that should prove an informative tool for residents
and strangers alike. In
addition, for residents we offer a compilation of dates to remember, public meetings
and a newsletter which is updated monthly to bring you the latest happenings
in your community. Often referred to as "Tree-Lined Trail
Creek," the town covers a wooded area of approximately 1.25 square
miles with 900 homes and a population of approximately 2,452. The town is divided
within
two townships, Michigan and Coolspring.

The dividing line for the two
townships is the center line of Coolspring Avenue, with Michigan Township to the north and Coolspring Township
to the south of the line.
Day to day business is administered by a five person Town Council and
a Clerk Treasurer who are all elected for terms of four years. In addition,
the Town Council is responsible for appointing qualified residents to
positions on auxiliary commissions and boards.
Town budgetary functions are paid through revenues derived from local
property taxes, county and state shared taxes, shared riverboat proceeds
from the City of Michigan City and some additional user fees.
The town is a supporting member of various governmental
and civic organizations, including the Indiana Association of Cities and
Towns (IACT), Northwest Indiana Council of Towns and Small Cities (TASC),
South Shore Clean Cities and Access LaPorte County.
