History
In the early 19th-century, prior to their removal in the 1830s, there was a Wyandot village at this location.
LaRue had its start in the early 1850s when the railroad was extended to that point. A post office has been in operation at LaRue since 1853.
LaRue was home to Walter Lingo, owner of the Oorang Dog Kennels, which bred the nationally recognized King Oorang Airedale Terriers. Lingo also owned the National Football League’s Oorang Indians, which played in 1922 and 1923. The team consisted of Native American players and was led by Jim Thorpe. They were strictly a traveling team; of the 20 games they played over two seasons, only one was played at “home” in nearby Marion. LaRue remains the smallest town ever to have been the home of an NFL franchise, or probably any professional team in any league in the United States.
