In 1923 George C. Rogge
decided to leave his job in the Gary steel mills and
start an insurance agency. His business grew and prospered,
in part, because he enjoyed walking the three miles
down Broadway’s business district in Gary nearly
every day, greeting his clients by name. Everyone loved
George Rogge.
Gary experienced the “City of
the Century” days of tremendous growth and prosperity,
becoming the largest city founded in 20th century America.
George’s company, under the direction of sons
Don and Bill, prospered in similar
fashion.
Don’s son, George A. Rogge,
worked alongside his father to learn the business. Under
George’s direction the company entered the computer
age. In 1978 he moved the office to its present central
location in Merrillville. Still on Broadway, more than
80 years later, his grandfather would be proud.
George’s great grandson Douglas
continues in the family tradition. His technological
advances guided the agency into the 21st century. Douglas
manages one of Rogge’s satellite insurance offices
in Gary.
The George C. Rogge family has been
serving the Gary, Indiana community since 1923. Whatever
your auto and home insurance requirements, Rogge Insurance
can help you.
