Rosepine Past and Present

Rosepine was a boom town due to the lumber industry and boasted many stores, saloons, hotels, restaurants, churches, a school, a bank and of course the lumber company. The name of our town "Rosepine" is believed to have been given by a country doctor in the area who recognized the beauty of the pine trees interlaced with wild roses. Incorporated December 24, 1902 to present.
