History
A post office called Roscoe was established in 1882, and remained in operation until 1904.[2] The community most likely was named after Roscoe Conkling (1829–1888), a United States Senator from New York who was active in Reconstruction-era politics.[3]
The Roscoe–Dunaway Gardens Historic District in Roscoe was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[4]
