 A view of Inglewood from Lincoln Road, entering the town. Mount Taranaki or Mount Egmont is in the background, hidden by cloud. Inglewood is a town in the Taranaki region of New Zealand's North Island. The population was 3,090 in the 2006 Census, an increase of 144 from 2001.[1]. Inglewood lies 200m above sea level. The town is located 16 kilometres southeast of New Plymouth on State Highway 3, close to Mount Taranaki or Mount Egmont. It is a typical small town servicing a mainly dairy farming region. Because of Inglewood's proximity to New Plymouth, there are few shops. Inglewood was home to the Moa-Nui Co-operative Dairies factory, before it merged with Kiwi Co-operative Dairies in Hawera in 1991. Until comparatively recently, the dual chimneys of this factory could be seen from miles away. Inglewood was named by Philip Colin Threkeld for Inglewood Forest in Cumberland, UK. The settlement was founded in 1873, and its name rapidly progressed from Moatown to Milton before being renamed in 1875 to avoid confusion with Milton in the South Island. Inglewood has produced a good share of All Blacks (John Major, Dave "Trapper" Loveridge, Chris Masoe), but also a leading contemporary artist, Michael Stevenson, who represented New Zealand at the 2003 Venice Biennale. [2] The New Zealand national toy museum, 'Fun Ho!' established by Barry Young, is located on Inglewood's main street. In 2006, Inglewood's only clothing store stopped carrying women's underwear, spurring Anglican Reverend Gary Husband to start a 'knickers-run' to New Plymouth and organized volunteers to help transport those in need on the 20km trip.[3] [edit] Education Inglewood has a number of coeducational schools. Inglewood High School is a secondary (years 9-15) school with a decile rating of 6 and a roll of 360.[4] The school was established in 1957.[5] Inglewood School and St Patrick's School are full primary (years 1-8) schools with decile ratings of 5 and rolls of 365[6] and 38,[7] respectively. Inglewood school was founded in 1875.[8] St Patrick's is a state integrated Catholic school.[9] [edit] Notable People of Inglewood -
