Inger, Minnesota

Inger is an unincorporated community in Itasca County, Minnesota, United States, along the Bowstring River of the Leech Lake Indian Reservation. In Ojibwe, the community is called "Chi-achaabaaning", meaning "by the Big Bowstring" due to its location along the Bowstring River. The village is located in the former Inger Township, which reverted to being unorganized. Named for one of its pioneer settlers, a post office was in operation from 1912 until 1955. Located 9 miles south of Inger is the Winnibigoshish Lake Dam, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
