About Rogers County

Rogers County was founded prior to Oklahoma statehood when the Arkansas Band of the Osage Nation settled in the Three Forks area (the junction of the Arkansas River, Grand River and Verdigris River) during the 1760s and established two villages called Pasuga and Pasona in what is now Rogers County. The county was officially founded prior to statehood on January 26, 1907 and was originally named Cooweescoowee. However, residents protested the name and the county was renamed Rogers after Clement (Clem) Vann Rogers, a mixed heritage Cherokee rancher and father of Will Rogers.

Rogers County has consistently been ranked as the fastest growing population in the
state. From 2000-2010 the population increased 23 percent, while the state
increase was 8.7 percent. As of 2010, the population was 86,905.  Rogers
County consists of a total area of 711 square miles – 675 square miles is land,
and 36 square miles is water.
