Ingalls, OK

Sitting about nine miles east of Stillwater in Payne County, Ingalls is a quiet rural community with a colorful frontier past. Established during the 1889 Oklahoma Land Run, the town was once a bustling settlement best remembered as the site of the 1893 Battle of Ingalls, a dramatic shootout between U.S. Marshals and the Doolin-Dalton gang. Today, it has settled into a peaceful hamlet of around 200 residents. For anyone considering a move to the area, Ingalls offers a relaxed country lifestyle with plenty of acreage, all while keeping you within a 15-minute drive of Oklahoma State University, local employers, and downtown Stillwater.
