It is located in the Po Delta, 40 km from Rovigo, 65 km from Venice and 55 km from Padua. The toponym is perhaps a dialectal adaptation of roggia, that is "small canal, ditch". The territory of Rosolina extends over the changing mouths of the Po and therefore has older parts and recently formed parts. Along the fourth cord of dunes that form the delta, the one dating back to the Etruscan-Roman era, a road passed which, as evidenced by the Peutingerian Table, divided from via Popilia at the height of Ariano nel Polesine, and then reached Altino after touched the Fossis mansio near the Adige.
Following the route of Ficarolo (second half of the twelfth century), the Po was divided into two main branches, one of which, called Po delle Fornaci, went to flow right at today's Rosolina. The consequent advancement of the coast led to the formation of the current territory. Subsequently, the Po delle Fornaci was further divided, giving rise to the Po di Tramontana, the Po di Levante and the Po di Scirocco. During the Venetian period, the Po delle Fornaci was headed (1645), limiting the flow of water towards Rosolina and the burying of the ports in the area. In the same period, the new strips of land were assigned to patrician families who organized agricultural exploitation. These families have left traces in the toponymy, such as Ca 'Diedo, Ca' Morosini, Moceniga, Veniera, Sagreda.
After centuries of aggregation in Loreo, in 1806 Rosolina became autonomous as a municipality in the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy. Re-aggregated to Loreo (1811) and again autonomous with the arrival of the Austrians (1816), it returned to being a fraction between 1929 and 1948.
