It is part of the Shreveport–Bossier City Metropolitan Statistical Area. Very little is known on the early days of the settlement as it is believed that Rodessa began as a trading post in the mid-1800s. Locals state that the town was originally named Frog Level as during a town meeting frogs were loudly croaking in a nearby pond. A post office was constructed in 1879, however it may have been in place earlier. By 1898 the Kansas City Southern Railway was built through the area which spurred an increase in population. Rodessa was incorporated as a village in the same year.
