John Dixon, the eponymous founder, bought Ogee's Ferry in the spring of 1830. Father Dixon brought his family to his new establishment on April 11th of the same year. In 1829, an employee of Ogee was named postmaster at the newly constructed post office. (Reagan was born in nearby Tampico, Illinois and moved to Dixon when he was 9 years old.) . Located on the Rock River (Illinois) River, Dixon was the boyhood home of former US President Ronald Reagan.
Around 1828, Ogee, a man of mixed French and Native American descent, established a ferry and a cabin along the banks of the Rock River.
