About Us

Welcome to the City of Rose Creek!

This quiet community in the Southland Rebels School District is home to approximately 396 residents.  Surrounded by flourishing farmland, Rose Creek lies approximately 15 minutes from Austin and 35 minutes from Rochester.  State Highway 56 passes through town, alongside the beautiful Shooting Star Trail.  The Village of Rose Creek, founded in 1867, recently celebrated its Sesquicentennial in 2017.  We have a new city hall sign 12/2024, and new benches that were donated in the park.

Rose Creek boasts of its well-maintained Wayside Park and impressive new playground (2022), disc golf course (2021), volleyball court, tennis and pickleball courts, horseshoe pits, and Ulven Field, which holds scheduled softball games throughout the warmer months.  During the winter though, Rose Creek is surrounded by various snowmobile trails and holds an annual snowmobile training course.  Not only is there Nexus Cooperative grain elevator, St Peters Catholic Church, United Farmers State Bank, and Rose Creek Post Office, but also many businesses in and outside of town.  Some of these include Ulven’s Outdoor Power, Heidi’s Corner, S&L Distributing, Stinger Attachments, The Rosary at Rose Creek, Wendel’s Auto Repair, Sarah’s Healing Energy and Massage, The Creek Bar & Grill, JD Driver, Rick’s Cleaning, Nielsen Agronomics, Rick’s Cleaning, Rosco’s Repair, Diamond Tents and Tables of Rose Creek LLC, and more!

Rose Creek features two volunteer groups: the Rose Creek Fire Department and the Creek Club. For the youngsters, Southland Troop 114 Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts Pack 114, and Southside 4H (meets 1st Sunday of the month). These sponsored activities and family-friendly events are held throughout the year, all to bring people together and benefit the community. Rose Creek welcomes everyone anytime of the year but puts on their charm and grandest greeting during Rose Creek Days, (weekend after July 4th holiday).
