History

Post office

On September 14, 1905, James and Anne Rose migrated from Lancashire, England, to an area of Saskatchewan, Canada.[5] They were the first settlers in the area now known as Rosetown.[6] Later, in 1907, a group of people from the area, wanting a post office, made an application for one. As a name had to be given to the post office, the group dedicated it to the town's most senior settlers, the Roses. As the name "Rose" was already taken, the group added "town" to it to create "Rosetown". The post office opened on September 7, 1907.

A Jewish colony was established near Rosetown after 1906.

Rosetown became a village on August 29, 1909, after Wilrod Bifair sold his homestead for $12 an acre to the Canadian Northern Railway. Village status was granted on August 4, 1909, when the population reached 500 people. W.G. King, W.R. Ferguson, and N.B. Douglas formed the village council in the same year. The first village council meeting was held on September 27, 1909. W.G. King established the first business in the village in 1909. Later that year he built three other stores at different locations.[citation needed]
