Fact text
- Oswego's name was decided by just ONE vote when citizens gathered in 1837, it nearly ended up permanently called 'Hudson' or 'Lodi'.
- The name 'Oswego' is an Iroquois word meaning 'mouth of the stream', borrowed from Oswego, New York.
- Oswego had a legendary dragstrip on Route 34 that ran from 1955 to 1979, drawing muscle car racers from across the Midwest, and locals still celebrate the drag days decades later.
- Parts of the old dragstrip track still physically exist, but the site is off-limits to the public, making it Oswego's most exciting forbidden landmark.
- Tom Sharpe, drummer for the holiday music juggernaut Mannheim Steamroller, calls Oswego home.
