In 1909, developers Burton and Danforth laid out the present Ingleside town site, and in 1913, the Ingleside Common School District was formed, with 80 students. In 1916, a hurricane destroyed many of the buildings that had built up in the town. Again, growth in the area was stagnant. Grape production was begun again and was a booming industry between 1910 and 1920; fishing and vegetable production were the town's economic mainstay until the vegetable sheds were closed in the 1950s.
