Dominated by large single-family homes, Woodmar was largely built in the 1920s, with the goal of allowing the Calumet Region's wealthier residents to get "out of the smoke zone and into the ozone." In these early years, Woodmar was considered more exclusive than most Hammond neighborhoods.
Woodmar was formerly home to the Woodmar Mall. It is also home to the Hammond campus of Purdue University Northwest, formerly an independent institution known as Purdue University Calumet. Historic residences in the neighborhood include the Morse Dell Plain House and Garden.
