Rosedale was first developed as farm and dairy land in the 1860s. In the 1900s, four florists and nurseries were based in the area; much of the nursery stock planted during that time remains.[4]
Many of the homes in the Rosedale area were built during the 1930s and 1940s; since then, many have been added onto and many new homes have been built.[citation needed]
Chili's at 45th and Lamar, which has been the subject of internet memes since at least 2011, is at the eastern most point of Rosedale.[5]
