Rosalind is a village located in the prairies of central Alberta, Canada. It is located on Highway 854, approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi) southeast of Edmonton and 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Camrose, the closest major trading centre.
The name Rosalind was first used in 1905 and is likely an amalgamation of the nearby school districts Montrose and East Lynne.[3]
Rosalind has a number of small businesses, an elementary school and a junior high school. The village provides various municipal services to its residents including fire protection.
