Welcome to the small little community of Wingate Indiana. Formally called Pleasant Hill, Wingate is a town in coal Creek Township and Monterey County and home to less than 500 residents. Originally platted back in 1832, citizens renamed the town to Wingate in honor of the prominent town person John C Wingate.
