It was originally a scattered crofting parish centred on the parish church of St Callan's, until the opening of the Rogart railway station at 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.{{cite web |url=http://www.scottishplaces.info/towns/townfirst1763.html |title=Rogart |work=Gazetteer for Scotland |accessdate=15 December 2014}}
