Ingleside

One of the mining camps that merged into Deadwood; its name survives in local history.

AI-generated illustration, not a photo of this place.

Ingleside was one of the mining camps that grew up around the claims of the gold rush, named alongside Elizabethtown and Deadwood City in the city archives’ walking tour. Those camps, the archives say, brought order to the wilderness and formed the basis for community development.

Historical marker text suggests Ingleside lay in the area now known as the Presidential neighborhood, that it became a fashionable address, and that the first county jail was built there in 1877. We were only able to read those marker excerpts through search results rather than on the marker pages themselves, so treat the location and these details as unconfirmed until checked against the city’s archives.
