The name Rosevale is a corruption of Rossvale, the name of a pastoral run pastoral used first in 1850s by William Ross. [2]

The Historic Rosevale Retreat Hotel, built in 1852 as a homestead, is the state's oldest hotel building. A victualler's licence was granted in 1887 to a Matthew Carmody. [3]

The Lutheran church burned down in 1928. [9] In 1929 the Congregational Church in Peak Crossing was to be replaced so the former church building was purchased and relocated to Rosevale to become the new Lutheran church. [10]
