Inglewood is the second largest town in the Goondiwindi Region as well as being part of the Border Rivers region of waterways. The town was the council seat of the former Shire of Inglewood until its amalgamation to form part of the larger Goondiwindi Region. The current slogan for the town is 'Catch the country spirit'. HistoryThe Aboriginal peoples of the Gamilaroi Nation, first inhabited this region prior to white settlement.{{Cn|date=October 2018}} English botanist and explorer Allan Cunningham has been credited with being the first European to discover the Inglewood area. He passed through east of the present township in May 1827. The first settlement in the area was known as Browns Inn and was an important watering point for bullock teams moving west. The inn opened in the late 1850s on the south side of Macintyre Brook, and in 1862 a town was surveyed on the higher, northern side. Plans were drawn up for the present site and the name changed to Inglewood. Inglewood Post Office opened on 16 September 1866.[2] Most of the hinterland consisted of station holdings which were selected as early as 1848 and were the start of the wool, cattle and wheat base of the region.[3] Inglewood State School opened on 13 February 1872 as a primary with a secondary department openedon 25 January 1960.[3] A hospital was built in 1921. Anglican, Catholic and Presbyterian churches opened in 1894, 1902 and 1906 respectively.[4] Whetstone Provisional School opened on 19 July 1904 and became Whetstone State School on 1 January 1909. In 1910 it was renamed Inglewood West State School. It suffered from low student numbers and consequently closed and re-opened a number of times, closing finally in 1928.[3] In 1907 Inglewood was connected by rail to Warwick, and westward to Goondiwindi by the South Western railway line. Nine years later Inglewood became a rail junction when the line to Texas was opened. It carried freight, including fuel to, and ore from, the Silverspur mine east of Texas. The Texas rail line was closed in 1994, due to lack of passengers and the usage of trucks to move freight. Local dairying was served by a branch factory of the Warwick Co-operative between 1940 and 1960. In 1925, Pugh's Queensland Directory recorded four hotels in Inglewood, two sawmills, a picture show and several other stores and tradespeople.[5] On 16 February 1922, the Inglewood War Memorial was dedicated by the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the Carnarvon, Major Edward Costello, as part of at the official opening of the Inglewood Memorial Hospital.[6] St Maria Goretti's School opened on 5 February 1951 by the Sisters of St Joseph after having been blessed by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Toowoomba, Joseph Basil Roper on 28 January 1951. The school was named in honour of St Maria Goretti, an Italian girl who had been canonised in 1950 and a popular choice of the Italian immigrant families of the district. The school had 51 students in its first year.[3][7] The Inglewood Public Library building was opened in 1996 with a minor refurbishment in 2011.[8] GeographyThe town sits midway between the larger centres of Warwick and Goondiwindi on the Cunningham Highway. The confluence of the Macintyre Brook and Canning Creek is sited just north of Inglewood, with the brook running 270° around the town.[9] Olive growing is a comparatively new industry in the area. Other established industries include sheep and cattle raising, grain growing and timber harvesting. Tobacco growing was common around Inglewood over the last 60 years. AttractionsInglewood's main attraction is Lake Coolmunda, {{convert|13|km|mi|abbr=on}} east of town. The lake is a popular location for water skiing, sailing, canoeing, fishing, camping and bird watching.[10] The Inglewood & District Historical Society runs a small exhibit in the Inglewood Heritage Centre showcasing the history of exploration, settlement, education, culture, agriculture, industry and transportation in the area.[11] EducationInglewood has two schools:
Because Inglewood only offers schooling up to Year 10, students often travel daily to Goondiwindi or attend boarding schools in Warwick, Toowoomba and Brisbane to complete their senior years. FacilitiesInglewood has a public library open to the community, a Civic Centre which hosts local events and plays, sports grounds, tennis courts, swimming pool, golf course, and bowling club.[12] The Goondiwindi Regional Council operates a public library in Inglewood at the Civic Centre, corner of Albert and Elizabeth Streets.[13] ClimateInglewood has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa). {{Weather box|location = Inglewood (Inglewood Forest, 2000–2014) |metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan record high C = 42.0 |Feb record high C = 40.8 |Mar record high C = 40.0 |Apr record high C = 33.9 |May record high C = 31.6 |Jun record high C = 27.0 |Jul record high C = 26.3 |Aug record high C = 35.2 |Sep record high C = 36.0 |Oct record high C = 38.0 |Nov record high C = 41.6 |Dec record high C = 41.2 |year record high C = 42.0 |Jan high C = 33.2 |Feb high C = 32.2 |Mar high C = 30.4 |Apr high C = 27.3 |May high C = 22.4 |Jun high C = 19.0 |Jul high C = 18.6 |Aug high C = 21.0 |Sep high C = 25.3 |Oct high C = 28.0 |Nov high C = 30.1 |Dec high C = 31.5 |year high C = 26.6 |Jan low C = 18.7 |Feb low C = 18.0 |Mar low C = 16.2 |Apr low C = 13.1 |May low C = 8.8 |Jun low C = 6.7 |Jul low C = 5.6 |Aug low C = 6.9 |Sep low C = 10.6 |Oct low C = 13.1 |Nov low C = 15.9 |Dec low C = 17.7 |year low C = 12.6 |Jan record low C = 11.9 |Feb record low C = 10.7 |Mar record low C = 7.5 |Apr record low C = 2.8 |May record low C = -2.0 |Jun record low C = -2.0 |Jul record low C = -2.7 |Aug record low C = -1.9 |Sep record low C = -2.0 |Oct record low C = 3.5 |Nov record low C = 4.6 |Dec record low C = 8.6 |year record low C = -2.7 |rain colour=green |Jan rain mm = 72.3 |Feb rain mm = 54.5 |Mar rain mm = 63.5 |Apr rain mm = 27.4 |May rain mm = 28.6 |Jun rain mm = 33.3 |Jul rain mm = 28.7 |Aug rain mm = 24.3 |Sep rain mm = 34.0 |Oct rain mm = 49.7 |Nov rain mm = 79.9 |Dec rain mm = 97.3 |year rain mm = 587.3 |Jan precipitation days = 7.4 |Feb precipitation days = 7.2 |Mar precipitation days = 6.8 |Apr precipitation days = 4.7 |May precipitation days = 4.6 |Jun precipitation days = 7.5 |Jul precipitation days = 5.9 |Aug precipitation days = 5.0 |Sep precipitation days = 5.8 |Oct precipitation days = 7.2 |Nov precipitation days = 8.7 |Dec precipitation days = 8.5 |year precipitation days = 79.3 |humidity colour = green |Jan humidity = 32 |Feb humidity = 36 |Mar humidity = 35 |Apr humidity = 35 |May humidity = 38 |Jun humidity = 46 |Jul humidity = 42 |Aug humidity = 33 |Sep humidity = 30 |Oct humidity = 27 |Nov humidity = 34 |Dec humidity = 34 |year humidity = 35 |source = Bureau of Meteorology[14] }} See also{{commons category}}{{portal|Queensland}}
