Living in Ingersoll, Ontario

Ingersoll started life as a small farming community and expanded into a thriving industrial town. Its primary industries now include one of Canada's eight largest auto assembly plants, GM’s CAMI Assembly Plant. 

In 1866, the James Harris Cheese Factory produced a giant cheese wheel weighing 7,300 pounds (or 3,311kg) which was even exhibited at the New York State Fair. This kickstarted the industrious reputation of the town, with everything from farm equipment to pork-packing beginning to get established. While the original “Mammoth Cheese” is long gone, a replica lives on in the Ingersoll Cheese & Agriculture Museum in its honor.
