Some
History: |
Purely a residential community,
today, Ogden Dunes prohibits all commercial
enterprises.
Ogden Dunes is likely most associated with Diana of the Dunes
who is claimed to still inhabit the area. Diana was a
well-known hermit who lived in the Ogden Dunes area from 1920
to 1925, before the town was established. Her real name
was Alice Gray; the nickname, Diana of the Dunes, comes from
the Chicago Press.
In 1927, Ogden Dunes was home to the highest ski jump in the
U.S. A historical marker indicates the site where the
thirty stories high jump hosted competitions, until it was
disassembled 1932
