Rosedale was incorporated in 1955 and has seen much change since its incorporation, including many modernizations. These progressive achievements resulted in the village receiving the prestigious Community Achievement Award for outstanding community improvement in basic services from the Louisiana Municipal Association in 1997. Today, the Rosedale is revered for its quiet, tranquil country life on the bayou.

The small, rural community is located at the intersection of La. Hwy. 76 and La. Hwy. 77 among beautiful rustic open fields, cropland and winding rural highways that follow meandering Bayou Grosse Tete. While the economy is largely agricultural today, Rosedale’s serene pastures and rural charm also invite tourists.
