Ingle Farm is an established, residential suburb, with some parklands, of about 8,500 people in the South Australian capital city of Adelaide. It is located at the base of the Mount Lofty Ranges foothills, around 12 kilometres north-east of Adelaide's central business district. It covers an area of 4.47 km2 with a population density of 19.41 people per hectare in 2001.
James Rowe came to South Australia in 1836, spending some time on Kangaroo Island then settling with his family in the Ingle Farm area in 1848. They initially took up 100 acres (0.40 km2) in section 3030, Hundred of Yatala in 1849, using the land primarily for farming wheat, barley, peas and hay. John Rowe's grandson, Jabez Sleeman Rowe, took on the farm and married Martha Barbara Wright (Born 24 May 1868 ) from Inglewood in 1902, consequently naming the farm Ingle Farm. In 1959, the South Australian Housing Trust purchased 730 acres (3.0 km2) from the Rowe brothers, Cyril(married to Alice) and Slem(married to Jean) Rowe and started a housing estate, with the first Housing Trust homes built in 1965 and 2,500 houses completed by 1975. The Rowe family name is preserved in the naming of Rowe Park, next to Ingle Farm Primary School, and Rowe Street in the adjoining suburb of Para Hills.
Rowe Park in the suburb's south, is home to the Ingle Farm Sporting Club. The club fields teams in Australian rules football, Cricket, Golf, Netball, Softball and some indoor sports. The club was originally known as the Ingle Farm Football Club, from its formation in February 1968, and was renamed in 1993. The football club first competed in the Central Districts Football Association, transferred to the Norwood-North Association in 1974, then to the South Australian Amateur Football League in 1978.
