History
The locality takes its name from the parish, which in turn derived its name from a pastoral run name used by wool grower Frederick John Bracker in the early 1840s, from the German rosen meaning roses and thal meaning valley or glen.[2][3]
In 1877, 27,800 acres (11,300 ha) of land was resumed from the Rosenthal pastoral run to establish smaller farms. The land was offered for selection on 19 April 1877.[4]
Inverleigh State School opened on 6 October 1921 and closed on 21 July 1942.[5]
