The Story of Rossville

Rossville was planned and laid out, a process called "platting," sometime between 1835 and 1840. When a community is "platted," it means that its streets, lots, and public areas are mapped out before people start building. This helps organize how the community will grow.

The community was named after a person known only as Mr. Ross. He was the original owner of the land where Rossville was created. It's common for places to be named after the people who first owned the land or were important in its early development.
