Rogers, Minnesota
Rogers is a city located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 13,295 at the 2020 census. In 2012, the city annexed the surrounding Hassan Township. The City of Rogers is considered a northwest suburb of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. The city's economy is mostly based on industrial activity and agriculture.
The city is located on either side of Interstate 94, with Minnesota State Highway 101 running north and its western boundary touches the Crow River.
Rogers is located at 45°11′19.87″N 93°33′10.85″W / 45.1888528°N 93.5530139°W (45.1888534, -93.5530144).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 26.255 square miles (68.00 km2), of which, 25.409 square miles (65.81 km2) is land and 0.846 square miles (2.19 km2) is water.
In the 1880s, Thomas Rogers sold an acre of his land, then part of Hassan Township, to Great Northern Railroad for a dollar. The new depot provided a convenient stop for the rich timber resources of the area and served as the beginning ground of a new community. When St. Martin Catholic Church and school were added, Rogers grew in local importance, consequently causing new businesses to be built and the town to be regarded as more of a local hub than other nearby communities such as Fletcher. In 1914, the city was incorporated.
Throughout the years the town grew slowly until, in 1972, Interstate 94 was constructed. Running right through Rogers, the new freeway provided easy access to Minneapolis and Saint Paul, causing additional businesses such as Graco, CDI, Dept. 56 and Reinhart Foodservice to add operations. The additional jobs created new population growth. As growth occurred, additional land was required, causing Rogers to annex more and more land from the surrounding Hassan Township. Hassan Township was completely intergrated into Rogers on January 1, 2012.
Early founding families names still serve as key contributors to the community. Otto Scharber was a prominent local businessman, owning a grocery store, hardware store, and a John Deere implement dealership, which is still in family operation today.
On September 16, 2006, an F2 tornado damaged homes in Rogers, killing one person. The tornado began three miles west of Rogers at 9:52pm The tornado made its first strike on Rogers at 9:54pm The tornado traveled along a path that was eight miles and lasted for approximately 12 minutes. The tornado also resulted in six injuries and the death of a 10-year-old girl, Jayme Wendt.
