History
[edit]
The name Rosevale is a corruption of Rossvale, the name of a pastoral run pastoral used first in 1850s by William Ross.[2]
The Rosevale Retreat Hotel was built in 1852 as a homestead and is the state's oldest hotel building. A victualler's licence was granted in 1887 to a Matthew Carmody.[4]
Rosevale State School opened 24 November 1884.[5] It was mothballed on 31 December 2009 and closed on 31 December 2010.[6][7] The school was located at 628 Sellars Road (corner of Tierneys Bridge Road, 27°50′48″S 152°28′57″E / 27.8466°S 152.4824°E).[8][9][3] The school's website was archived.[10]
St Stephen's Anglican Church was opened circa 1887. The church closed circa 1962.[11]
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.[12] 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.[13]
