History

Rosedale

Between 1898 and 1918, the town was mapped as Rosedale. [4] In 1900, Rosedale was recorded as a small town. [3]

Big Bend Park

Centerville-Washington Park District maintains the grounds where the Manor train station once stood. An old railroad track bed is preserved in the park, which is also a walking trail. [5] The southbound rail splits at this station and combines again near Lytle station. [6]
