History
The locality takes its name from an early pastoral run that was held by Robert Ramsay in the late 1840s.[2]
In 1877, 11,500 acres (4,700 ha) were resumed from the Rosalie Plains pastoral run and offered for selection on 17 April 1877.[3]
Ashlea Provisional School opened on January 1907. On 1 January 1909 it became Ashlea State School, being renamed Rosalie Plains State School in 1916. It closed circa 1944.[4]
