Area Information
Location: The area was first settled by Thomas Ingersoll who was born in Massachusetts and immigrated to Upper Canada (Ontario) following the American Revolution.
In 1793, he obtained a land grant of 66,000 acres in Oxford County from Governor John Graves Simcoe.
His eldest daughter, Laura Ingersoll Secord, warned the British of an impending American attack on Upper Canada during the War of 1812. His son, Charles renamed the thriving settlement Ingersoll in honour of his father. This took effect in 1852 when the village was incorporated as the "Village of Ingersoll". In 1861 the village was then incorporated as the "Town of Ingersoll". Town of Ingersoll |
