History

The town was named for James Innis. Like thousands of Irishmen, Innis came to America during the 1850s when Ireland was faced with the potato famine. In 1868, Innis purchased property in the area that now bears his name. In 1895, a post office was established in the town [Lockhart, John M. "Roadmap to the Westside", " [http://www.riversidereader.com The Riverside Reader] ", January 21, 2008, p. 5] .
