Ingalls, OK - Ghost Towns on Waymarking.com

Ingalls is a small town about 11 miles east of Stillwater. Ingalls was settled after the 1889 Land Run. The peak population was 150 in the 1890s. A post office was established which eventually closed in 1907. The town became a mecca for outlaw gangs. The outlaw activities culminated in the September 1, 1893 battle between the Doolin and Daltons gangs and three U.S. Marshalls, resulting in the death of the Marshalls. The town took on a reputation of an outlaw town, and because of this, never grew or flourished.

Today, it is a ghost town. It still has a population of about 150, primarily members of three or four families from the early days. There are no commercial business here, and the grouping of dilapidated wood buildings still draws people to Ingalls, to see a small vision of those early frontier days. An historical marker and a stone monument to the Marshalls stands across the street from these buildings.
