Grand Detour is a historic village located in Ogle County, Illinois, situated along a bend in the Rock River. The village's name comes from the large bend or "détour" in the Rock River at this location.
This small community is particularly notable as the place where John Deere developed his self-scouring steel plow in 1837, a revolutionary invention that significantly impacted agriculture in the American Midwest. The village maintains much of its 19th-century character and is home to the John Deere Historic Site, which includes a reconstructed blacksmith shop and archaeological site.
The peaceful riverside setting and historic architecture provide visitors with a glimpse into early Illinois settlement life and the beginning of American agricultural innovation.
