Settlers first began moving onto the land that was later to become the Rural Municipality of Roland in 1875-76. Development was slow in the beginning, with all people and supplies arriving over land from Winnipeg or other communities along the Red River. The arrival of the railroad in the late 1880's made transport cheaper and easier, and brought more people to the area. A local homesteader named Roland MacDonald purchased a quarter section of land adjacent to the railroad, and had it surveyed into lots and blocks. A small village soon formed, and when the time came to name the railway station, MacDonald's wife suggested her husband's first name. The name Roland was registered in early 1890. As the community grew through the years, the need for a local government became apparent .
