History
Ingleside was founded by George C. Hatch in 1854. Among the original community of Ingleside were Walter Ingalls, Henry Nold, James Aware, John Pollard, John W. Vineyard, and others. The 3,800 acres Hatch acquired was sold to the various residents of the community, and the name "Ingleside" came from John Vineyard whom allegedly named it after his ancestral home in Scotland.
The neighboring town, Ingleside on the Bay, was formed when Corps of Engineering had cut a channel, now known as the Quinta Channel, through Ingleside Point in 1954. This is where the US Navy planned on building its Homeport in 1995.
Ingleside was the home to Naval Station Ingleside. On August 24, 2005, the BRAC Commission voted to close the base. In 2010, the main base property was turned over to the Port of Corpus Christi.
As of March 31, 2023, companies Enbridge and Yara partnered in a joint interest venture named project YaREN which plans to start production in either 2027 or 2028. This project proposed the building of a "world scale low-carbon blue ammonia production facility" which would be located at the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center (EIEC). This project has faced community backlash and significant publicity by various news publications. As of November 11, 2025 Project YaREN has received permission from the Ingleside City Council to begin construction and production under a special use permit.
