[[Aetna (Gary)|Aetna]] is located on Gary's far east side along the [[Dunes Highway]]. Aetna predates the city of Gary. This [[company town]] was founded in 1881 by the Aetna Powder Works, an explosives company. Their factory closed after the end of World War I.

The Town of Aetna was annexed by Gary in 1928, around the same time that the city annexed the Town of Miller. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Gary's prosperous industries helped generate residential and other development in Aetna, resulting in an impressive collection of [[art deco]] architecture. The rest of the community was built after World War II and the Korean War in the 1950s, in a series of phases. On its south and east, Aetna borders the undeveloped floodplain of the [[Little Calumet River]].

[[Emerson (Gary)|Emerson]] is located in north-central Gary on the east side of Broadway. Located just south of [[Interstate 90]], Gary City Hall is located in Emerson, along with the Indiana Department of Social Services building and the Calumet Township Trustee's office. A 6,000-seat minor league baseball stadium for the [[Gary SouthShore RailCats]], [[U.S. Steel Yard]], was constructed in 2002, along with contiguous commercial space and minor residential development.

[[Miller Beach]], also known simply as Miller, is on Gary's far northeast side. Settled in the 1850s and incorporated as an independent town in 1907, Miller was annexed by the city of Gary in 1918. Miller developed around the old stagecoach stop and train station known by the 1850s as Miller's Junction and/or Miller's Station. Miller Beach is racially and economically diverse. It attracts investor interest due to the many year-round and summer homes within walking distance of [[Marquette Park (Gary)|Marquette Park]] and [[Lake Michigan]]. Prices for lakefront property are affordable compared to those in Illinois suburban communities. Lake Street provides shopping and dining options for Miller Beach visitors and residents. East Edge, a development of 28 upscale condominium, townhome, and single-family homes, began construction in 2007 at the eastern edge of Miller Beach along County Line Road, one block south of Lake Michigan.<ref>{{cite web |date=April 16, 2006 |title=It's Miller's time in Lake County |url=http://www.indianaeconomicdigest.net/main.asp?SectionID=31&SubSectionID=146&ArticleID=26330 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310220207/http://www.indianaeconomicdigest.net/main.asp?SectionID=31&SubSectionID=146&ArticleID=26330 |archive-date=March 10, 2012 |access-date=April 25, 2012 |publisher=Indiana Economic Digest}}</ref>
