Population over time
2 figuresRogers fell from 237 to 194 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

In the county-history sources
19,600 words on this townshipHistory of Columbiana County, Ohio, published 1879 names this settlement in its chapter on Middleton Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.
Some time before 1840 a meeting-house was built of logs on the farm of Elias Holloway, on section 29, which was at one time occupied by a large and very flourishing congregation of more than 100 members. Among these were persons belonging to the Freed, Zepernick, Ney, Croft, Crook, Ward, Rogers, Henry, Wallahan, and other families. The organization of Methodist societies in the surrounding villages, and the removal of members, so much weakened the society that it was allowed to go down before 1860. Since then occasional meetings have been held, but the building is now unfit for further use.

Before this period, in 1802 and earlier, Job Rossell settled on section 13, where he reared three sons, Thomas, Caleb, and Job ; the latter is still living in the northern part of the township. On the same section were Abraham Z ., Joel, Levi, and Robert Rogers, and John Briggs. The latter removed early ; and many of the early settlers of Middleton resided there only a few years, until the interior of the county and the country beyond presented more favorable conditions for pioneer-homes, when they left, and it is extremely difficult to obtain an accurate account of them, and others who deserve mention in this connection.

On section 3, among the pioneers were Thomas Rogers, who came in 1806, George Brown, who came in 1804, and Samuel Gorby and Henry Garrett. A son of Rogers, James, was born on the homestead, which he now occupies. Descendants of the others also live in the township.

Museums hold 752 specimens collected within 10 miles of Rogers between 1882 and 1975: 421 Animalia, 302 Plantae, 28 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adler, K. K., Andreas, B.; Cusick, A.W., Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.) and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

Storms near this place
10 since 1997Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Rogers in 10 storm reports between 1997 and 2022: 8 thunderstorm wind, 2 flash flood. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Rogers | $100,000 | This path was evaluated owing to the presence of a radar-depicted|mesovortex track. Damage along this extensive track was the most|considerable examined today, with abundant tree destruction in the|form of uprooted or snapped hardwood trunks, widespread snapped|large limbs and occasional fascia and shingle damage to single-|family residences. A tree was blown onto an occupied vehicle east|of Rogers, OH early in the swath before wind speed appeared to|increase considerably. Elsewhere along the path, several |outbuildings suffered roofing damage, including a barn in Lawrence|County, where a portion of the roofing structure was removed and |transported downwind among other local damage. Damage to power|poles along the swath appears tied to trees falling on power|lines.||Damage was concentrated in several areas, including the western|and northern sections of East Palestine, the area near Howell |Road/Route 14 area and areas adjacent to the Pennsylvania Turnpike|in Little Beaver and North Beaver Townships of Lawrence County,|PA.||Ultimately this damage was deemed to be non-tornadic but of|considerable intensity. The swath generally paralleled the radar-|depicted mesovortex on its southeast flank, but featured |considerable width and a modestly divergent pattern atypical of|mesovortex tornadoes. Nevertheless, the wind speed along this|swath was of comparable intensity to many tornadoes and over a |broader area, leading to the widespread damage observed.||At its peak over this roughly 11 mile swath examined, damage was|consistent with speed up to 80 mph at times. A vast majority of|the damage examined was consistent with wind of around 70 mph.||It is entirely probable that severe wind continued northeast of|the swath evaluated today, but a coherent swath was no longer|noted, and the radar-depicted mesovortex dissipated hereafter. |
| April 2020 | Thunderstorm Wind | Rogers | $5,000 | At the intersection of Scotts Mill Road and County Route 154, several trees were reported to be blown down. Time of occurrence was estimated based on radar. |
| June 2002 | Thunderstorm Wind | Rogers | $5,000 | Thunderstorm winds downed several trees and power lines. |
| June 2014 | Thunderstorm Wind | Rogers | $3,000 | Law enforcement reported trees down along Route 7. |
| June 2005 | Thunderstorm Wind | Rogers | $2,000 | Tree down on Rte 558. |
| June 2022 | Thunderstorm Wind | Rogers | - | Trees reported down. |
| September 2018 | Thunderstorm Wind | Rogers | - | A 911 Call Center reported multiple trees and powerlines down. |
| July 2005 | Flash Flood | Rogers | - | Streams overflowed, flooded streets. |
| July 2003 | Thunderstorm Wind | Rogers | - | Trees down. |
| June 1997 | Flash Flood | Rogers | - | Heavy rainfall, mainly in the northeast part of the county, led to low-land flooding and high water on State Routes 7 and 154 near Rogers as Little Bull Creek and its tributaries went out of their banks. |
