In 1875, the state of Kansas instated a new population requirement of 600 persons was established to become a "City of the Third Class".

A petition was presented to Hiram Stevens, Judge of the Tenth Judicial District (Wyandotte, Johnson, and Miami counties).

He issued an order for incorporating the village as the City of Rosedale, Kansas.

The wide area has been disastrously flooded through measurable history by the Kansas River and Turkey Creek, especially here.

From 1911-1920, an areawide flood project was designed and built, with key engineering to divert the confluence of the Turkey Creek into the Kansas River in Rosedale.

The city voted for an expansion worth $28,000 in 1913, and the east wing was established, including the gymnasium, in the summer of that year.

The University-Rosedale Urban Renewal Agency purchased the Columbian School in March 1966 and demolished it the following October.
