in the borough
of Stockton-on-Tees
and ceremonial county
of North Yorkshire
, England

in 1952.
. Work at Quarry farm has discovered prolific concentrations of multi period flint
work along the South Bank of the River Tees
in this area. Traces of Iron Age
field patterns were discovered, also at Quarry Farm.
A salvage excavation was carried out in the Windmills Fields area of the town at the end of 1996. Five individual burials were found along with a wooden cist
, these finds were accompanied by objects containing stone, jet and copper alloy of high status. This site was considered of European significance as it threw new light on the settlement of the area in the Bronze age
and highlighted a change in tradition of burial traditions and trade networks at this time.
Roman
settlement is also apparent in the town and a Roman Villa
circa
200 AD, perhaps the most northerly in UK, was excavated in part. This has been preserved as a grassed area in The Forum area of Ingleby Barwick.
Englar+by and means 'farmstead or village of the English man', Barwick is Saxon in origin, Bere is Saxon for barley and Wick means farm. This suggests that the area was affected by both the Viking and Saxon invasions.It may have been that until the 17th century, Ingleby and Barwick were two separate places. After the Norman invasion The Manor of Barwick was given to Robert Malet the son of William Malet, King William's
great chamberlain. In the 13th century the land was owned by the Priors of Guisborough & Jervaulx until the dissolution of monasteries. Between the 14th and 16th centuries landowners included the Percy's of Northumberland
and the Parr's of Nottingham.
In the 17th century the Manor of Barwick was sold to Sir Thomas Lynch, Governor of Jamaica and then to Sir William Turner of Kirkleatham
. The land remaining in the ownership of the Turner's, with profits from the land used to support the free school and hospital at Kirkleatham, until it was sold in the 19th century.
Since then there has been a major undertaking to build new housing and at one time Ingleby Barwick was reputed to be the largest Private Housing Estate in Europe.
Ingleby Barwick has also a Parish
Council, now restyled Town Council, with 12 Town Councillors who were elected on 5 May 2011.
Ingleby Barwick is represented in the House of Commons by James Wharton (Conservative),who was elected on 6 May 2010 for Stockton South (UK Parliament constituency).

secondary school
, is located in the centre of the estate. See http://www.allsaintsva.co.uk/ From September 2009 the admission number to year 7 has been increased to 140 pupils. The school was built through PFI funding. The original PFI Provider (Robertson Construction North East) have recently sold the investment on to another company making a reported £1 million profit.

, Egglescliffe School in Eaglescliffe
and St Patrick's R C Comprehensive School in Thornaby.
Some children from Ingleby Barwick still attend Thornaby Community School, although this ceased to be a catchment school for Ingleby Barwick in September 2003 when All Saints School opened. Since September 2010 Thornaby Community School, which was under "Special Measures", has become Thornaby Academy.
A proposal for a second secondary school on Ingleby Barwick, BO2SS (Barwick's Own Second Secondary School, developed by a group of local parents and residents has, as of February 2011, moved to a point where it seems probable that it will receive government assent under their "Free Schools" programme.

, other shopping areas, and Romano Park. There have been muggings and assaults on the estate.
In October 2006 Ingleby Barwick councillor Lee Narroway was assaulted after confronting a gang on the estate. The estate's problems often draw the attention of the council's enforcement team who attempt to disperse gangs causing trouble at local shops, and confiscating alcohol. It was reported in 2008 that 10% of all police call outs to Ingleby Barwick come from the estate's Tesco store, with both staff and customers being intimidated by gangs of youths. After the completion of Romano Park in Summer 2009 it has become a hot spot for antisocial behaviour, particularly around the multi-use games area. In January 2011 local schools warned parents that groups of over 100 youths, some of which were armed were gathering outside the estate's Tesco store engaging in anti-social behaviour and intimidating the public on evenings.

In January 2011 local schools warned parents that groups of over 100 youths, some of which were armed were gathering outside the estate's Tesco store engaging in anti-social behaviour and intimidating the public on evenings.
