Polo is a rural city in Ogle County located in the northwest corner of Illinois – just 5 miles west of the beautiful White Pines State Park! Population is approximately 2,500. The schools are superior, people are friendly and it is a safe community to live in. There are restaurants, parks, medical facilities, a library, a professional police department, a volunteer fire department, and many places of worship. Polo is home to a long list of community organizations that offers a number of events that take place throughout the year. We are centrally located so you can travel one hour in any direction to reap the benefits of larger metropolitan areas, yet distant enough to enjoy the charming and tranquil surroundings.
