About Ogden
Ogden was laid out in 1866 along the Chicago and North Western line across Boone County, and it took its name from William B. Ogden, the railroad man who had been Chicago's first mayor. A post office came in 1871 and the town incorporated in 1878, and for generations the trains and the old Lincoln Highway down Walnut Street kept shops busy where U.S. 30 met U.S. 169. When the four-lane Highway 30 bypassed town in 1965, a slab of the original pavement bearing footprints pressed into the wet cement was saved and kept downtown. Ogden's best-known resident may have been Brooklyn Supreme, a 3,200-pound Belgian stallion owned by Charles Grant Good, and the Good name lives on at the Leonard A. Good Community Library on Mulberry Street. Today about 2,000 people call Ogden home; Union Pacific trains still roll through, the Bulldogs fill the school calendar, and a local Legacy board has brought a clinic and a Fareway grocery downtown.
