Inglewood is a small town in Queensland, Australia, 150 km (94 miles) south-west of Toowoomba on the Cunningham Highway. The town is part of the Border Rivers region.
It is working to become the olive capital of Australia. Olive growing is a comparatively new industry in the area. Other established industries include sheep and cattle raising, grain growing and timber harvesting.
Tobacco growing was common over the last 50 years.
Inglewood was the centre of the Inglewood Shire, until the recent forced council amalgamations caused it to be merged with Wagamba Shire and Goondiwindi City Councils to become part of the Goondiwindi Regional Council.
