===Legacy=== Namesakes of William B. Ogden include a stretch of [[U.S. Highway 34]], called Ogden Avenue in Chicago and its suburbs, Ogden International School of Chicago, which is located on Walton Street in Chicago, and [[Ogden Slip]], a man-made harbor near the mouth of the [[Chicago River]]. Ogden Avenue in [[Bronx|The Bronx]] is also named after him, as is Ogden, Iowa.<ref name="Harpster2009">{{cite book| last =Harpster| first =Jack| year =2009| title =The Railroad Tycoon who Built Chicago: A Biography of William B.
