Rosedale Cr is a U shaped street that is located south of and intersects with Oak Crest Dr (now Polo Rd). It is a subdivision of the original parcels 24, 25, & 26 and was platted in May 1924 by J E Ellerbie, C. E. (Civil Engineer) and was still owned by JW, FH, and HE Fries.
The parcels were subdivided into large lots (A – T) and were approximately 1 – 2 acres each. One exception was a large lot (T) which was approximately 11 acres and located on the south end of the circle. I will discuss more about lot T in a future post. Also, there was a little street cut on the west side of the circle to access parcel 27 (not yet developed).
I am not sure where the name Rosedale originated. Perhaps it is derived from names of family members of the owners or developers (Rose or Dale), but that is only a guess. The name was also applied to the side street (Rosedale St) which is now Hobart St.
