HISTORY OF INGALLS
Pride in Past
The Town of Ingalls continues to build on its proud history. Ingalls has a bright future and we look forward to
welcoming new visitors, neighbors, and residents to our ever-growing community.
A Brief History
In May of 1893 the Ingalls Land Company bought the land we now know as Ingalls and began platting it for development. Its convenient location and abundant supply of natural gas prompted the arrival of the Big Four Rail Company (today known as CSX) and inspired several new enterprises to move to Ingalls. Within a year, Ingalls boasted eight factories, five hotels, two churches, and a railroad station. The area’s great success was honored on April 7, 1896, when Ingalls, Indiana was officially incorporated into a town.
The post office was the first governmental institution in Ingalls. It was moved to the town on June 30, 1893, and soon became the centerpiece for local commerce. The Ingalls Zinc Company was one of the largest factories in the early years of Ingalls. The company thrived with the town’s natural gas resources, as did the Puritan Spring Bed Company, which moved its entire operation from Chicago to Ingalls. Other prosperous companies in 1894 were the Ingalls Manufacturing Company, the German-American Chemical Works, the Yergin Chemical Company, the Randall Brothers Planning Mill, the Ingalls Milling Company, and the Crescent Glass Company.
