About Lee County --

Ogle County, which was organized in 1836, included the territory occupied by the present Lee County with the county seat being located at Dixon's Ferry. The territory necessary to form Lee County was detached from Ogle County in 1839 and commissioners appointed by the Illinois Legislature designated Dixon as the county seat. 

"Father" John Dixon was instrumental in the formation of both Lee County and the selection of Dixon as the county seat town. He donated 80 acres of land to be sold at auction to raise funds necessary to construct a building and had also deeded to the county the block square parcel of land on which the present Old Lee County Court House now stands.
