It was originally a scattered [crofting](/source/crofting) parish centred on the parish church of St Callan's, until the opening of the [Rogart railway station](/source/Rogart_railway_station) at [Pittentrail](/source/Pittentrail) {{convert|1+1/2|mi|km}} to the southeast. The locus of the parish shifted when a new 'industrial' village grew around Pittentrail following the arrival of the railway in 1886.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scottishplaces.info/towns/townfirst1763.html |title=Rogart |work=Gazetteer for Scotland |accessdate=15 December 2014}}</ref>

The village of [Golspie](/source/Golspie) is {{convert|9|mi|km}} east of Rogart whilst Lairg is 10 miles west.
