Innerkip

Innerkip is a village about 10 km north-east of Woodstock, in the south of East Zorra-Tavistock. Innerkip Park has four ball diamonds, pavilions, playgrounds and a walking trail, and the Innerkip Community Centre and the Innerkip branch of the Oxford County Library are on Oxford Road 5. The Innerkip Highlands golf course is beside the village, and the Innerkip Quarry nearby is a campground used for swimming and scuba diving. A small part of the village is in Blandford-Blenheim, and this page covers the whole village.

Innerkip grew up in the old East Zorra Township. From 1928 until it flooded in 1937 the Innerkip quarry produced gravel for railway beds, and since 1957 it has been a campground. In 1975 East Zorra joined the Village of Tavistock to form East Zorra-Tavistock.

The census counts most of Innerkip in two areas, so these figures are estimates for the village, both sides of the township line included. They come to about 530 homes, about nine in ten of them single detached houses. About one in six were built in 1960 or earlier and nearly a third between 1961 and 1980. About one in six were built between 1981 and 2000, about one in eight between 2001 and 2015, and about a quarter between 2016 and 2021.
