CITY OF RENSSELAER
Mayor Herbert H. ArihoodBeing selected as one of Indiana’s top five small cities illustrates just one of the many assets that Rensselaer, Indiana has to offer. The quality of our lives that exists in our one hundred seventy year old community is the best reason for our existence.
Rensselaer is the county seat of Jasper County, in northwest Indiana. Our location is halfway between Chicago and Indianapolis and is served by Interstate 65. Our community began as a small farming hub and has grown to be a self sufficient growing city, large enough to survive the demands of the new millennium, but concise enough to provide an admirable and conservative living quality.
We are dedicated to maintaining our beautiful city park system, and are blessed with a progressive school system with a full compliment of amenities. We encourage industrial and commercial development by practicing our concept of controlled growth. We have two separate industrial parks which provide a consistent commercial base, two shopping mall locations, and a new five-screen theater. Our Jasper County Hospital serves citizens in a forty mile area, Saint Joseph’s College, located on our city’s south side, has excellent credentials, is rated very highly in the ranks of learning institutions, and provides an affirmative base of stability for our community.
Our Chamber of Commerce contributes a valuable asset within our business and commercial environment. As the chamber illustrates, the community constantly strives for positive improvements by working together with a smile.
