The community is named for former President Theodore Roosevelt, but was also known as Greenwich and Rum Point for a time before that.

[4]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 1.8 square miles (4.6 km2), of which 1.8 square miles (4.6 km2) is land and 0.56% is water.
