Ingersoll

Town in Oxford County, southern Ontario, on the Thames River, 29 km/18 mi east-northeast of London; population (1991) 9,400.

Ingersoll was the site of Canada's first cheese factory (established in 1864), and is the commercial centre of an extensive dairy-farming region. Local manufactures include furniture, fertilizers, lumber, and hardware. The town is named after Thomas Ingersoll, father of the heroine of the War of 1812, Laura Secord, who settled here in 1793.
