The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Rogers Township is a township in Cass County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 84 as of the 2020 census. Rogers Township was named for William A. Rogers, an early settler.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 63 to 84 (+33%). Half of its homes were built before 1997.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Rogers yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.
