Description From Owner:

Ingram Creek - After Henry Ingram, who became the first settler in the area around 1865.
According to tradition, he brought with him six of the camels that had proved unsatisfactory on the Cariboo Road. Ingram established a good ranch, started a popular race meet in 1873, and died in 1879.
Westwold - As early as 1826, this was named Grande Prairie. In 1900 the post office here was named Adelphi, but the new name never really supplanted Grande Prairie.
In 1926, when Adelphi was finally dropped, the name of Grande Prairie was no longer available, there now being a Grande Prairie post office in Alberta.
Westwold was then suggested by L.R. Pearse, an Englishman long resident in the area. 'Wold' is an old English word for a high open plain. The wold here was west of the railway station.
