Rosemount is a city in Dakota County, Minnesota, United States, on the southern edge of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The population was 25,650 at the 2020 census.[1]

History

After the 1851 Treaty of Mendota, which turned the land over to the federal government, the first European settlers began to arrive. In 1853, William Strathern from Scotland was the first to claim land in the area, and in 1854 the Dakota County Board of Commissioners appointed Andrew Keegan as the first postmaster. He named the post office Rosemount after a town in Ireland.[2]

Rosemount was established as one of Dakota County's first 17 townships in 1858,[3] and many of the original settlers were Irish Catholics. According to the city's website, there was some debate over whether to name the township Saratoga or Rosemount, with the latter finally chosen to reflect the town's Irish heritage and remain in keeping with the name given to the post office a few years earlier.[4]

In 1853, Captain William B. Dodd started building one of Minnesota's earliest roads to connect Mendota to St. Peter, Minnesota. His road, later called the Dodd Road, ran through western Rosemount and was the location for several early establishments. Just east of Dodd Road, the Minnesota Central Railway built railroad tracks, a station, and an elevator in the 1860s, and a new commercial center grew up around it.[2]

The Village of Rosemount was founded and platted in 1866 and incorporated in 1875. Another early community in the area, Rich Valley, was on today's 140th street. It had a post office from 1858 to 1935, and a Chicago Great Western depot.[5][6][7]

In the 1940s Rosemount was home to a military gunpowder plant, Gopher Ordnance Works, which manufactured white smokeless rifle and cannon powder during World War II. The University of Minnesota acquired a part of this land for agricultural research and other university projects in 1947,[2] later known as UMore Park or the Rosemount Research and Outreach Center.

The Great Northern Oil Company built the Pine Bend Refinery facility on the border of Rosemount and Inver Grove Heights in 1955. The oil refinery, now owned by Flint Hills Resources, is now the Rosemount area's largest private employer.[8]

In 1971, the Village and Township of Rosemount merged and incorporated as a city in 1975.[2]

In 1994, the Rosemount Community Center and National Guard Armory facility was constructed. The Armory is the headquarters for the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team of the 34th Infantry Division, which is about half of the Minnesota Army National Guard.[9]
