Residents of Rosedale enjoy living
life at its fullest, driving
SUVs and being
obnoxious to the
proles who cross their paths. They
seldom realize that they are living in an area so rich in
historic content and
beauty.
Rosedale got its name when Sheriff William Botsford Jarvis began to
develop the land in the 19th
century. He named it for the wild roses his wife found growing in the
dales that give this area its
unique layout. Lots were formed on the natural
contours of the land and it is easy to get lost, making it a very private place to
reside, yet it is not even minutes to the
Downtown core.
