Ince is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is situated immediately to the east of the Stanlow Oil Refinery. It shares Ince and Elton railway station with the village of Elton, which it runs into. According to the 2001 Census, it was recorded as having a population of 209.
Ince Park is being developed near the village.
The name Ince, first recorded in the Domesday Book as Inise, is from the Primitive Welsh ïnïs, meaning "island". The name refers to the village's position on a low ridge in the marshlands around the rivers Gowy and Mersey.
Ince was an ancient parish in Eddisbury Hundred and became a civil parish in 1866. The civil parish was abolished in 1950, and absorbed into Ellesmere Port civil parish. The population stood at 443 in 1801, 422 in 1851 and 290 in 1901.
The present civil parish was separated from Ellesmere Port in 1987, with smaller boundaries.
Ince and Elton railway station serves both Ince and Elton villages, but it is just within the Elton boundary. There are infrequent Monday ti Saturday services to Ellesmere Port, Stanlow and Thornton, Helsby, Liverpool Lime Street, and Warrington Bank Quay. The nearest station with better services and facilities is either Ellesmere Port or Helsby.
