Ingalls is a census-designated place (CDP) in eastern Payne County, Oklahoma, about 9 miles (14 km) east of Stillwater. 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.[3] It was named for Senator John J. Ingalls of Kansas.[4] During the 1890s the population peaked at about 150, then began to decline.[5]
