History

Rosental was founded in 1847 by colonists from Kaneau on the right bank of the Jeruslan (Yeruslan) River. They were joined by colonists resettling from Beauregard, Katharinenstadt, Orlovskaya, and Paulskaya between 1848 and 1850. Additional colonists from Ernestinendorf, Katharinenstadt, Paulskaya, and Philippsfeld had arrived by the time of the 1857 Census. Since 1905 the Rosental congregation belonged to the Hoffental parish.

In 1921, 117 people were born and 161 died (likely due to the severe famine at this time).
