Inglis was established as a village on 1 January 1956. On May 1, the Inglis and District Credit Union Society received their Charter of Incorporation.{{Cite web|title=History – Inglis Manitoba|url=https://inglismanitoba.com/history/|access-date=2021-08-05|website=inglismanitoba.com}}

The community was titled Inglis in the 1990s, named after Robert James Inglis a Scotsman from Montreal, Quebec, who supposedly tailored all of the uniforms for Canadian Pacific Railway. The name Inglis itself simply means 'English'.
