Roselawn, Census-designated place in Newton County and Jasper County, Indiana.
Roselawn is a residential community straddling two counties in northwestern Indiana with a mixed landscape of homes and open spaces. The settlement spreads across land that connects various neighborhoods and maintains its character as a rural residential area.
The settlement was named after two figures from its early period: merchant Orlando Rose and Lon Craig, whose names combined to create the place's identity. A post office opened in 1881, helping the developing community stay connected.
The community maintains strong ties to Indiana traditions through local gatherings and events that connect residents of both Newton and Jasper counties.
Interstate 65 runs through the eastern section and offers convenient connections to larger cities in both directions. The highway provides the main transportation route for residents and travelers passing through the area.
The area is home to two naturist resorts that have been operating since the 1930s, making it an unexpected destination for that lifestyle. These facilities have operated quietly for decades while the surrounding community developed around them.
