Inglewood - A town in the Taranaki Region of New Zealand's North Island. - The settlement was founded in 1873 and was originally called Moatown. - The name was then changed to Milton, before ultimately being renamed to Inglewood in 1875 to avoid confusion with Milton in the South Island. - The railway reached Inglewood in 1877, connecting it with New Plymouth as part of the first extension of what is now the Marton–New Plymouth line. - Until 1991, Iglewood was home to the Moa-Nui Co-operative Dairies factory (which was the fourth largest dairy factory in New Zealand) before it was shut down in favour of centralised processing near Hawera. - From 1949 until the late 1980s, Inglewood was home to Fun Ho! Toys, a manufacturer of collectible die cast metal toys and one of New Zealand‘s largest toy companies. - The factory shut down in 1987 but a museum in the town still exists with over 3000 toys on display. - Despite its small population, the town has gained notoriety from a string of violent crimes which tend toward the gruesome, bizarre and barbaric. - A 2015 book by the anthropologist Michael D. Jackson refers to “Inglewood’s violent past” and "the popular claim that Inglewood is the ‘murder capital’ and ‘psychopathic centre’ of New Zealand”.
