History

Roe began as a railroad depot around 1880 on the Cotton Belt (officially the St. Louis Southwestern Railway). Originally located in Prairie County, a boundary adjustment in 1883 placed it in Monroe County. The small community saw new growth when U.S. Route 79 was constructed through the town in 1935. Roe was incorporated as a town in 1968.
