The name Rosevale is a corruption of Rossvale, the name of a pastoral run pastoral used first in 1850s by William Ross. The hotel closed in 2015. Rosevale State School opened 24 November 1884. It was mothballed on 31 December 2009 and closed on 31 December 2010. The school was located at 628 Sellars Road (corner of Tierneys Bridge Road, ). St Stephen's Anglican Church was opened circa 1887. The church closed circa 1962. 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. 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.
