Ingomar was an unincorporated community in Merced County, California. It was located on the Southern Pacific Railroad 10.5miles northwest of Los Banos, at an elevation of 92 feet (28 m).
A post office operated at Ingomar from 1890 to 1921. The name was probably from the 1842 German play Ingomar, the Barbarian by Baron Eligius Franz Joseph von Münch-Bellinghausen, a popular work in the dramatic canon in the late 19th century.
A school was established at Ingomar in 1884, and the town was surveyed when the railroad was built through the area in 1889. The economy was centered on farming and dairying; in the early 1910s there was a school, blacksmith shop, general store, cream-shipping depot, and housing facility for railroad work crews. The town declined due to the closure of the post office and fouling of the water; only foundations remained as of 2009.[1]
