Churchill was the original name of this lumbering town, which was located 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from its present location. Hiram Hodge was the first resident of the community. He built a hotel, but later left the area. The Rose family, including Allan S. Rose, his father and two brothers, came from New York State in 1875.


Allan S. Rose formed a partnership with M.H. French, known as the "French and Rose Land Company", and started a new settlement. The many lumber operations were after the giant pine and old timber found in the area. They cleared land and built a general store, settler's cabins, and boarding houses. A post office opened with the name Churchill on September 8, 1875. On July 23, 1892, the settlement was moved to the east, and the post office's name was changed to Rose City, in honor of the Rose family.


Rose City was incorporated as a fourth-class city in 1905. In 1910, the city suffered a major fire that destroyed the business section within an hour, with thirty buildings burning down. This fire caused the end of Rose City's lumbering center, as many businesses decided not to rebuild. The area began to see several improvements from 1945 to 1960, including the construction of a sewer system, paved streets, and streetlights.


There are many artesian wells found in Rose City's main water supply still today, and Rose City was once referred to as "The Home of Artesian Wells". In October 1962, Rose City's school district was combined with that of neighboring West Branch to become the West Branch-Rose City Area Schools district. In 2002, the city of Rose City and the site of its historic fire were designated as Michigan State Historic Sites, with a double-sided historic marker erected in Rose City Park.


Near Rose City Park is the Cleveland Park Pavilion, which is also a registered historic site.
