History

thumb|upright|O.H. Ingram

The Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad, heading from Ladysmith toward Sault St. Marie, built through the wilderness that would become eastern Rusk County in 1884. Their early steam engines needed frequent stops along the line, so they created Ingram station six miles from Glen Flora and six from Hawkins. The station was named for Orrin Henry Ingram, an Eau Claire lumber baron.

By 1891 the newborn hamlet had grown to this description:

<blockquote>Ingram is on one of the tributaries of Main creek, and has a post office and a station on the railway. The population is a shifting one, while there are about fifty residents. The settlement was surveyed and platted in September, 1888. An extensive stream saw mill was built here by F. Turcot, who sold it in 1890 to the French Lumbering Company, of Chippewa Falls, and they are now operating it. It has a capacity of about 40,000 feet a day. There is also a school-house.</blockquote>
