The municipality was incorporated on January 1, 2015, via the amalgamation of the Rural Municipality of Rhineland and the towns of Gretna and Plum Coulee.^[1]^[4] It was formed as a requirement of The Municipal Amalgamations Act, which required municipalities with a population less than 1,000 to amalgamate with one or more neighbouring municipalities by 2015.^[5] The Government of Manitoba initiated the amalgamations for municipalities to meet the 1997 minimum population requirement of 1,000 to incorporate a municipality.^[6]

The original RM of Rhineland was incorporated as a rural municipality on February 14, 1880, along with the neighbouring RM of Douglas, which was absorbed into Rhineland in February 1891.^[4]

In 1882, the community of Rosenfeld was founded in the RM as a CPR station. Though becoming an unincorporated village in 1949, it was later turned into a Local Urban District in Rhineland in 1996 with the rewriting of the Manitoba Municipal Act, and exists as an LUD to this day.^[7]

Rhineland takes its name after a district in the Rhine valley in western Germany.^[4]
