History

Prior to the annexation of Holyoke from West Springfield in 1850, Ingleside was the site of a ferry known as the Jones' ferry,[4] its landing sites are known as Jones Ferry Road on both the Holyoke and Chicopee sides of the Connecticut River today.[5]
The word ingle, stemming from a Gaelic word for fire,[6] may have been chosen for lime kilns which were once in the vicinity in its time as a part of West Springfield.[7] The origin of the name Ingleside itself seems to stem from the eponymous Ingleside Hotel, a large complex constructed by one Jones S. Davis, a key figure in the creation of the city's Lyman Mills, which are now known as Open Square.[8][9]
Completed in 1868, the hotel cost Mr. Davis a total of $162,000 (approximated $3.6 million in 2016 US Dollars), and opened on July 4. On July 21, 1871, the hotel hosted the first

Springfield, Mass., July 25, 1875. Ingleside, a well known summer resort, about three miles southwest of Holyoke was destroyed by fire this evening. It was built by J. S. Davis of Holyoke, a few years ago, at a cost of $150,000, but was sold in 1874 to N. S. Chandler, of this city, for $30,000, and has not been open for guests this season. Engines were sent over from Holyoke, but were useless as there was no water except in a small reservoir and none could be pumped up from the Connecticut. Eighty tons of hay were burned in the barn and only a small portion of the furniture saved, and that in a damaged condition. The insurance is $20,000.
