Roser Park Historic District

It is rumored by some residents that Charles Roser earned fame and fortune by inventing the Fig Newton cookie, selling his recipe and baking process to The National Biscuit Company (Nabisco).

Nabisco has stated that they have no record of Charles Roser, and evidence strongly suggests the cookie originated in Newton Massachusetts, for which it is named.

In 1911, he broke ground on the Roser Park development, originally purchasing land from C.D.

From there, he expanded the development from 60 to 80 lots, then began purchasing and renovating subdivisions in the surrounding areas.

Owned by Gary M Guthrie for 25 years, he hired Aaron Hunt and Rob Johnson of Avalon Group Real Estate Agents to sell this home which sold on March 29, 2019, to the buyer Christienne M Valone.
