History
Ingham was a community in Lincoln County, Nebraska, United States, established in 1886 by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Ingham was located near today's Highway 23, its location chosen as a rare level spot between the small villages of Farnam and Moorefield. Earliest settlers were dryland farmers and ranchers. The settlement became of sufficient size that a post office was secured in 1898. Ingham had a high school that graduated its first class in 1924.
