Ogle County was formed on January 16, 1836 from parts of Jo Daviess County . It was named after Joseph Ogle (1737-1821), a pioneer, politician and captain of the territorial militia.
On January 3, 1837, the county government's first official meeting was held and Oregon was chosen as the administrative seat. Because of violent differences with the south of the county this split off on February 27, 1839 and became Lee County with Dixon as the seat of the county administration. In the same year Oregon was renamed Florence, but in 1843 renamed Oregon again. The courthouse, still in use today, was built in 1891 for around $ 107,000 for buildings and furnishings. In 1984 it was renovated for $ 1.5 million.
