Rogers is a city located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States.

The City of Rogers is considered a northwest suburb of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area.

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.

[2] 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.

Running right through Rogers, the new freeway provided easy access to Minneapolis and Saint Paul, causing additional businesses such as Graco, CDI, Dept.

[7] Early founding families names still serve as key contributors to the community.

On September 16, 2006, an F2 tornado damaged homes in Rogers, killing one person.

The tornado also resulted in six injuries and the death of a 10-year-old girl, Jayme Wendt.

Talks of annexation between Rogers and Hassan Township can be traced back to the 1970s, but the formal agreement was approved on December 30, 2003.

[10] In 2008, the Rogers City Council and the Hassan Town Board accelerated the annexation date to January 1, 2012.

This was the third and final phase of annexation, boosting the Rogers population to over 11,000 residents.

Rogers High School was ranked #29 in Minnesota for 2023 by U.S. News & World Report based on performance on state-required tests and how well they prepare students for college.
