Rosemark, Tennessee Editorial Photo

Rosemark is an unincorporated residential and farm community located along Tennessee State Route 14 in northeastern Shelby County, Tennessee, United States.Originally known as Richland, a name that probably referred to the fertility of the soil, the Rosemark area was settled as early as the 1830s. The main economic activity in the area was cotton farming. Years later, the community name was changed from Richland to Rosemark after residents learned that another Tennessee community was named Richland, but the Richland name is still used by several community institutions in Rosemark.
