Location

My hometown of Polo is located in Ogle County, in the state of Illinois, in the USA. This booming metropolis has about 2600 people, a grocery store, a handful of bars and not a single stoplight.

This web page is extremely old, and probably very outdated. If you want more accurate information, check someplace such as Wikipedia. But as far as I know, this was the first web page ever created for Polo, IL, so I don't want to delete it.

The exact location of Polo is 41.985 north latitude, 89.578 west longitude. Or, for something more meaningful, check out the map below. Polo is the red star in the middle. (The map came from MapQuest, many years ago.)

Location of Polo

Another way of finding Polo is to:

  1. get a map of Illinois
  2. draw a line from Woosung to Haldane
  3. draw a line from Hazelhurst to Stratford
  4. find where the lines cross - you'll find Polo!
If this method makes complete sense to you, it means you probably have lived in or near Polo at some time in your life.

Schools and Sports

Polo Community High School, home of the Marcos. (You might be wondering what a 'Marco' is. Well, there's a good chance you've heard of a famous Italian explorer. He's called Marco Polo. Were from Polo, and called the Marcos. Get it?)
