==History== [[File:Bragg general store.jpg|thumb|right|Ogilvie general store circa 1900]] A post office called Ogilvie has been in operation since 1899.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=MN&county=Kanabec | title=Kanabec County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | access-date=15 July 2015}}</ref> The city was named for Oric Ogilvie Whited, a local landowner.<ref>{{cite book|last=Upham|first=Warren|title=Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance|url=https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog|year=1920|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|page=[https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog/page/n285 266]}}</ref> In July 2023, the Minnesota Department of Transportation misspelled the town name signs to "Oglivie" on newly installed signs along state highways to update the population from the 2020 Census. Residents noted that the spelling was commonly mistaken. The signs were replaced within a week.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-07-07 |title=One small town and big spelling mistake, MnDOT fixes Ogilvie sign |url=https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/mndot-fixes-ogilvie-signs/89-fb82ce04-a110-43e0-be5d-39a9b92e1222 |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=kare11.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
