Rogers AR History

Rogers was founded in 1881 and was named for Captain C.W. Rogers, vice president and general manager for the St. Louis and San Francisco (Frisco) Railroad. Rogers' founding date, May 10, is based on the day that the Frisco first came through the area.

Though Rogers is not named after the famed humorist Will Rogers, there IS a connection with him. Will Rogers' wife, Betty Blake Rogers, was born in Silver Springs (now Monte Ne), Arkansas, and raised in Rogers. Will and Betty were actually married in the Blake home in Rogers, now torn down, and their daughter Mary was born in that house. Will considered the city of Rogers his second home, and Betty often spent time here with her mother and her children while Will was on the road.
