History
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]
Rosevale State School opened 24 November 1884.[4] It closed on 31 December 2010.[5] The school was located at Rosevale Road (27°50′48″S 152°28′57″E / 27.8466°S 152.4824°E).[6]
St Stephen's Anglican church was opened in 1887. The church closed in 1962.[7]
Rosevale has previously belonged to the Shire of Mutdapilly, Shire of Moreton and the Shire of Boonah local government areas.
The Lutheran church burned down in 1928.[8] 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.[9]
