Roper, a station in Wilson county, is located where two branches of the Missouri Pacific R. R. diverge, both going southward, about 12 miles northeast of Fredonia, the county seat. It has telegraph and express offices and a money order postoffice. The town was started in 1886, at the time the railroad was built. A telephone system uniting Roper with all the towns in the vicinity went into operation in 1901. The population in 1910 was 40.
