William Penn Adair Rogers made a name for himself in the American west as a roper, comedian, social commentator, and as an actor in many films, all under the more friendly name of "Will" Rogers.

If you travel to Claremore Oklahoma in Rogers County, you will find the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, Rogers State University, Will Rogers Library, and Will Rogers Boulavard. But the funny thing is, Rogers County isn’t named after Will Rogers.

It was named after his father, Clement "Clem" Vann Rogers, a judge and senator in the Cherokee Nation, who helped write the Oklahoma Constitution.
