Rhame was founded in 1908 as Petrel, North Dakota, when the [[Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad]], the "Milwaukee Road," established a station here. The post office was established February 8, 1908, but was changed to Rhame in June 1908, since [[Petrel, North Dakota|Petrel]] was already in use for a railroad station in neighboring [[Adams County, North Dakota|Adams County]].<ref name=wick/> The city and surrounding [[Rhame Township, Bowman County, North Dakota|Rhame Township]] were named for Mitchell Davison Rhame (1846 – 1913), who was a district engineer for the railroad.<ref name=barnes/>

Rhame [[Municipal corporation|incorporated]] as a [[village]] in 1913. It became a city in 1967 after the [[North Dakota Legislature]] eliminated incorporation titles for villages and [[town]]s. As a result, all incorporated municipalities in North Dakota automatically adopted a city form of government.<ref name=centennial/>
