Do you know of Rosendale ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Rosendale. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Rosendale.<1>

Our sources for Rosendale (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Rosendale other than they indicate that Rosendale would be found somewhere in Boone County, Iowa.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1888 and closed  in 1902.
