Rogers Avenue

Rogers Avenue Soundex Code R262

Rogers Avenue: This street is in Rogers Park from Eastlake Terrace southwest to Ridge - ONLY

This is a diagonal street running from southwest to northeast.

The Chicago City Council passed a lengthy ordinance January 14, 1895, rationalizing the street naming system. Rogers Avenue did not exist at this time, so no Rogers Addresses need conversion.

5212 W at 5218 N to 1328 W at 7666 N. It is segmented, meaning it does not run continuously.

Rogers Avenue follows the Indian Boundary Line.

Like many diagonal streets that interrupt the grid-patterned streets of Chicago, Rogers Avenue comes from a past far earlier than the surveyors who laid out Chicago’s streets. In 1816, it was agreed upon as an imaginary line 10 miles on either side of the Chicago Portage, with the line being established by surveyors in 1818-19.

Rogers Avenue was renamed for Philip McGregor Rogers. It's original name was Indian Boundary Line Road.
