Rogers

History

Rogers was laid out in 1883 following the construction of the Pittsburgh, Lisbon and Western Railroad through the territory. It was named for its founder, T. G. Rogers. Rogers was incorporated as a village in 1895. Mount Hope College was an academy located on Highland Avenue in Rogers, founded in 1883. In 1894, the academy burned, but was rebuilt and purchased by brothers Asher A. Galbreath and Charles Burleigh Galbreath. The Ohio Attorney General filed a petition against Mount Hope College in 1900, alleging that the college was conferring degrees solely based on fees paid by the student to the president of the college without requiring the students to attend classes or pass any kind of examination. As a result of the investigation, the college was closed and its charter was revoked. In 1905, Asher A. Galbreath opened a correspondence school named Carnegie College in Rogers, which later became a public school.
