Inglefield in Scott Township, Vanderburgh County, Indiana; also known as Ingle's and Ingles, and later to be a post-office, a village, and a railway station; began life as the farm of one John Ingle Sr.

Ingle's was the first stop for travellers that was to appear on the road from Evansville to Princeton, back when it wound through woodland, before the state straightened the road.

As a railroad stop on the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad it was known in the middle of the 19th century as Ingles, later to become Inglefield on the later Evansville and Terre Haute Railroad (E&THR) and Chicago and Iowa Railroad. The Inglefield post-office was originally named Sandersville, as was a town that Ingle Sr attempted to found.
