Ingelow is an unincorporated community in North Cypress – Langford, Manitoba, Canada.^[1]^[2] The settlement is located 30 kilometres (19 mi) northeast of Brandon.

History

Originally called "Woodlea", settlers arrived in the area in the 1870s.^[3] The Woodlea School District was established in 1887, and Woodlea School opened in 1889.^[4] A post office opened in 1899, and remained open until 1970.^[5] Construction of a branch of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway through Woodlea began in 1907.^[6] Each station name on the railway west of Portage la Prairie began with a consecutive letter of the alphabet, and Woodlea—located between "Harte" and "Justice" stations—was renamed "Ingelow", after English poet Jean Ingelow.^[7]^[8]^[9] The first train arrived in Ingelow in 1909.^[6]

The early settlement had a store, two grain elevators, an outdoor hockey rink, and a baseball and hockey team.^[6] A curling rink was built in 1939.^[6] St. Johns Presbyterian Church operated from 1909 to 1965, and a community hall operated from 1917 to 1977.^[6]^[10]

Woodlea School—renamed Ingelow School in 1923—remained open until 1960, when it consolidated with Brookdale Consolidated School No. 1299.^[4]

A cairn commemorating St. Johns Presbyterian Church and the community hall was unveiled at a ceremony in Ingelow in 1979.^[10]
