Adding a little info for those people unfamiliar with Oklahoma or history. Rogers County is located in the Northeast corner of the state and is adjacent to Tulsa. 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. Now THIS Mr Rogers was prominent in his county and region BUT it was his son that became really famous, Will Rogers, star of stage and screen, newspaper columnist and gentle humorist of the 1920s & 30s.
Interesting. I was guessing Rogers county was named after Will Rogers, but thanks to you I just now learned it was named after his father. I’ve been to the Will Rogers Museum in Claremore. He was quite a guy. Long ago, James Whitmore played Will Rogers in a one-man skit and was magnificent.
