Rochedale is known for its rich, red soil that is good for crops. Yet due to recent years of drought in the area, much of the farming has been abandoned and are now commercialised.
In 1952 the Gill family ran a poultry farm and piggery and in 1967 developed the land into the first sewered estate in the region.
They named some of the streets after the towns and streets in England from where they originated in 1951. Some of the streets were Ridgeway Street, Green Way, Edgeware Drive and Gills Close.
Nearby schools include Springwood State High School, which is a little under 200m from the suburb.
Rochedale is home to the 2010 Brisbane Premier League champions, Rochedale Rovers Football Club. They play out of Underwood Park, Priestdale.
