The History of Ingram Borough goes back to 1752, when a French trader named Peter Chartier moved down river from Tarentum (a previous settlement of his) and went up the mouth of the creek that now bears his name.
Center Street

The Ingram area was first settled shortly after 1758 when the first settlers made their way into the Chartiers Valley, coming upstream from Ohio and down from Maryland and Virginia.
Ingram is situated on the part of General Hand’s patent that was known as Mount Pleasant. In 1823, the site of our Borough, comprised of several hundred acres, was purchased by Thomas Ingram. Thomas Ingram was from County Tyrone in Ireland. He opened the land for sale and improvement in 1880. The Borough then was comprised of 17 homes, many of which were described as “large, substantial and attractive in appearance.”
Ingram House

By June of 1902, a committee was appointed to make formal petition for Ingram to be incorporated as a Borough. A petition was signed by 85% of the residents (at that time approximately 2,000 residents lived in Ingram). In August of 1902, the petition was granted by the courts and the Borough of Ingram began. It was named after Thomas Ingram, one of our first settlers.
