A post office called Rowena was established in 1847, and remained in operation until 1967.[2] The community most likely was named after a local woman.[3]

The community was flooded in 1951 and sank beneath Lake Cumberland, the lake that was created on the Cumberland River by the construction of the Wolf Creek Dam by the TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority.
