Rogers County

Rogers county is located in northeastern Oklahoma with Claremore serving as the county seat. It was formed January 26, 1907 from the Cherokee Nation and was named for Clement Vann Rogers. The name "Cooweescoowee", an Indian Chief, was nearly adopted for the county name but most people couldn't pronounce it so the county was named in honor of Will Rogers' father.

Major waterways include the Verdigris River, which forms a part of the southern line with Wagoner County and Lake Oologah, of which about 30% extends into Nowata County to the north.

County attractions include Rogers' birthplace just north of Oologah; the Will Rogers Memorial Museum and the J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum in Claremore and historic Route 66, the county's section of which extends from northeast of Chelsea to Catoosa in the southwest.

The county population on July 1, 1999, was 70,567, an increase of 15,397 over the 1990 census.
