History
Precedents:
The area of the Chanza riverbanks was already inhabited in the Neolithic and there is a megalithic stone circle known as "Pasada del Abad" near the village of Rosal, and within the municipal limits.
As the Portuguese Restoration War broke out, many small settlements near the border depopulated, with the inhabitants withdrawing to the bigger villages, eventually leaving the rest of the territory open to smuggling and banditry. The hamlet of El Gallego was forsaken in 1642.
Repopulation:
Part of the efforts for the repopulation of Sierra Morena, from a legal standpoint the creation of Rosal steems from the 1822 Decree on the Repopulation of Large Territories and the granting of those powers to provincial deputations. The creation of Rosal was authorized in August 1834, soon after the death of Ferdinand VII. The first instructions for repopulation were issued in 1838 and by 1844 the village already had an Ayuntamiento. Originally known as Rosal de Cristina, the municipality was renamed as Rosal de la Frontera as result of the new political environment created after the 1868 Glorious Revolution.
