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 (27.8466°S 152.4824°E / -27.8466; 152.4824 (Rosevale State School)).[6]

St Stephen's Anglican Church was opened circa 1887. The church closed circa 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]
