==History==
Ogle County was formed in 1836 out of [[Jo Daviess County, Illinois|Jo Daviess]] and [[LaSalle County, Illinois|LaSalle]] counties, and named in honor of Captain [[Joseph Ogle]], a veteran of the [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] who settled in Illinois in 1785. Ogle County government was organized in 1837; before that time it remained assigned to Jo Daviess County for legislative, taxation, and judicial matters.<ref>White, Jesse.  ''Origin and Evolution of Illinois Counties.'' State of Illinois, March 2010, 9.  [http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/publications/pdf_publications/ipub15.pdf]</ref> In 1839, part of Ogle County was partitioned off to form [[Lee County, Illinois|Lee County]].

Ogle County was a [[New England]] settlement. The founders of [[Oregon, Illinois|Oregon]] and [[Rochelle, Illinois|Rochelle]] arrived from [[New England]]; they were "[[Yankee]]s", descendants of [[English American|English]] [[Puritans]] who had settled [[New England]] in the 1600s. They were part of a wave of farmers who migrated into the [[Northwest Territory]] in the early 1800s, their trek eased by completion of the [[Erie Canal]] in 1825. They found virgin forest and wild prairie, and quickly laid out farms, constructed roads, erected government buildings and established post routes. They brought a passion for education and strong [[abolitionism]]. They were members of the [[Congregationalist Church|Congregationalist]] or [[Episcopal Church (United States)|Episcopalian]] Church. Culturally Ogle County, like much of northern [[Illinois]] would maintain values similar to those of New England.<ref>The History of Ogle County, Illinois: Containing a History of the County, Its Cities, Towns, Etc., a Biographical Directory of Its Citizens, War Record of Its Volunteers in the Late Rebellion, General and Local Statistics, Portraits of Early Settlers and Prominent Men, History of the Northwest, History of Illinois, p. 326</ref><ref>The Early History of Northern Illinois by Charles Knapp Carpenter, Ogle County Federation of Women's Clubs, 1948</ref>

Along with its neighbor [[Lee County, Illinois|Lee County]], Ogle County is one of the most consistently [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] counties in the nation when it comes to presidential elections. Except for the 1912 election when the GOP was divided between [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912)|Progressive]] nominee [[Theodore Roosevelt]] and incumbent president [[William Howard Taft]], Ogle County has voted Republican in every Presidential election since the Republican Party first participated in 1856. No Democratic candidate has ever won the county, which favored the [[Whig Party (United States)|Whig Party]] before the Republican Party was formed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Presidential election of 1840 - Map by counties |url=http://geoelections.free.fr/USA/elec_comtes/1840.htm |access-date=November 11, 2018 |website=geoelections.free.fr}}</ref>

Historically, Republicans have easily carried the county in statewide and national Democratic landslides. [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] never garnered more than 39 percent of the county's vote in any of his four runs for president, and [[Barry Goldwater]] won over 60 percent here in 1964–almost identical to [[Lyndon Johnson]]'s winning margin statewide. Illinois' own [[Barack Obama]] is the only Democrat to ever win at least 40 percent of the county's vote.

The county is part of [[Illinois's 16th congressional district]]. represented by Republican [[Darin LaHood]].
