First Time in Ingleside, TX
We offer the following brief explanation of this little Texas town, should you be considering a move here.Economy
Ingleside is currently driven by the exploration and development of the Eagle Ford Shale, giving rise to the oil and gas industry as the major economic driver in the Ingleside – Corpus Christi area. Experts predict rapid growth over the next few years and significant development to facilitate the operations here. The spillover from the exploration and development and the eventual extraction, storage and refining of oil will create secondary drivers in infrastructure, real estate, retail, manufacturing, energy and transportation. For all of these business needs, Almost Home’s Ingleside TX corporate housing provides an excellent resource for those needing short term, temporary housing.
Companies such as Occidental Petroleum Corp, Wildcat Midstream, Koch and other major oil and gas companies have invested in the activities and created numerous jobs in the process. These jobs present opportunities for all categories, disciplines and trades. The City has forward thinking plans to facilitate the oil and gas program and is even thinking ahead with the planning of housing and commercial property to fill the retail gap that will arise and the population increases to support the major job requirements.

Knowing a little local history, might accentuate your enjoyment of Ingleside corporate housing. The area that includes present day Ingleside was first settled in 1854. The first settlers bought land from George C Hatch who owned over 3,800 acres on both sides of the bayou. One of those settlers, John Vineyard, was from a town named Ingleside in Scotland, and he is credited with naming the town in honor of his ancestral home. The initial occupations most of the town residents were farming and ranching. One of the popular crops at the time was grapes, introduced to the area but George Hatch and his son, John. The vineyards flourished until all the vines were killed by fungi in the 1930s. Hopes of development were hinged on the possibility of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway stopping in Ingleside, but the stop was never built and the anticipation of growth resulted in contraction when the rail didn’t materialize. The city, instead, faced an exodus with residents migrating towards the site of the new railroad stop in Paloma. Humble Oil announced plans in 1927 to construct an oil refinery in the area. The announcement and eventual construction rapidly increased the population and the prosperity of the city. Construction of homes and infrastructure boomed ahead of the refinery’s construction and continued after its completion. In 1945 the plant closed due to a labor dispute and the plant was sold. An aluminum fabrication plant opened soon after, followed by another metal plant in 1950. The town’s growth was modest, if not stagnant. It was eventually incorporated in 1951.Places to Eat in Ingleside
