Oil Company of the United States even had a distillery close to the town. The Inglewood district still produces the greater portion of Victoria's eucalyptus oil. Post offices opened at Inglewood on 12 March 1860 and at New Inglewood soon after on 15 May 1860. The Inglewood post office was renamed Old Inglewood around 1865 and closed in 1882. The New Inglewood post office was then renamed Inglewood around 1870. From 6 December 1861 until 1 February 1961, Inglewood was managed by a borough council. At the 2011 census Inglewood had a population of 1058 (up from 834 in 2006). Present Inglewood is known as the "Blue Eucalyptus" town and is the largest town in the Loddon Shire, with 886 residents according to the 2021 census. It is the main service town for the Loddon Shire with a hospital, chemist, community bank, supermarket and hardware store providing services to its residents in Inglewood and the surrounding towns. Inglewood's main tourist attraction is the Eucalyptus Distillery Museum which is located on the northern edge of the town on the site of the "Old Jones Distillery". The site is heritage listed and houses a museum, retail store, coffee bar and model distillery. The eucalyptus oil industry is still a major employer in the region with two commercial distilleries located close by. Inglewood is a notable example of a Victorian gold rush town, with its 19th-century architecture attracting many visitors. The main street, Brooke Street, is noted for its narrowness and concentration of double-story buildings. No less than seven hotel buildings (two still operating) and four bank buildings are found in Brooke Street. Several buildings were designed by prominent Bendigo architects Vahland and Getzmann, including the Charlie Napier Hotel. Inglewood is also notable for the collection of public and religious buildings located away from the main thoroughfare, unusual for a town of its size. The town hall features a tower and chiming clock. The town is also gaining a reputation amongst treasure hunters, with at least half a dozen vintage and antique stores operating in Brooke Street. Gold-seekers still converge on the surrounding bushland in search of gold. Since the million dollar "Hand of Faith" nugget was discovered 11 km west at Kingower in 1980, gold detectors have brought fresh discoveries left behind by the early prospectors. Inglewood forms part of the "Golden Triangle" which encompasses some of the richest alluvial goldfields in
