On September 14, 1905, James and Anne Rose migrated from Lancashire, England to Saskatchewan. They were the first settlers in the area now known as Rosetown. 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 decided to dedicate it to the towns 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.
