Ingalls, Arkansas

Ingalls is an unincorporated community in Bradley County, Arkansas, United States, five miles south of Hermitage. Ingalls is situated at 161 feet (49 meters) above mean sea level. The Fordyce & Princeton Railroad goes through this town. It uses ex-Rock Island tracks.

Ingalls was originally known as Crowtown but acquired the name Ingalls, (the same as John James Ingalls a U.S. senator from Kansas) at the insistence of the management of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad.[1][2]
