Overview

Ingalls is a census-designated place (CDP) in eastern Payne County, Oklahoma, about 9 miles (14 km) east of Stillwater. As of the 2020 census, Ingalls had a population of 192. The town was settled as a result of the "Unassigned Lands" land run in 1889, and had a post office from January 22, 1890, until October 31, 1907. It was named for Senator John J. Ingalls of Kansas, who was instrumental in passing legislation to open the run. Around 1893, the population peaked at about 150, then began to decline by 1900.

History & geography

History

Ingalls was a peaceful community that rarely ever had any commotion, until it became notable as the site of the Battle of Ingalls on September 1, 1893, which was a shootout between U.S. Marshals and the Doolin-Dalton gang. Because of this, many residents abandoned the site, claiming it would never live down its so-called reputation for harboring criminals. Due to this activity, a new post office, named Signet, was established on a site slightly northwest of the old Ingalls townsite on June 21, 1921, and became part of a new community. The residents of the Ingalls part heavily protested, but the government refused to yield. In 1901, the Pierce O.K. Hotel was dismantled into sections and moved to nearby Stillwater. Placed in the 500 block of South Main, it was renamed the Globe Hotel and served as a hotel, apartment house, and later a private residence. In 1937, it was again moved to 812 S. Hester and remodeled into a two-story apartment house. It remains at 812 S. Hester and is the only known building that survives from the original shootout.
