  Ogre, Latvia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ogre (population 26,573 in 2000 census) is a town in Central Latvia, 36 km east of the capital Riga, situated at the confluence of the Daugava and Ogre rivers.
Ogre is composed of three parts: Jaunogre (meaning "New Ogre"), Ogre (the center of the town), and Pārogre (meaning "Ogre across [the river]" though not all of the named region is across the river).
The name of the town is said to be of Russian origin (угри, meaning eels)(because there used to be a lot of eels in the river Ogre) and has nothing to do with the English word ogre, it is said that queen Ekaterina II of Russia was the one who gave the river this name.
