The [[Dakota Territory]] legislature created the county on January 4, 1873, with territory partitioned from [[Buffalo County, South Dakota|Buffalo County]]. It was not organized at that date, and was not attached to another county for judicial or administrative purposes. It was named for [[Joe_Rolette|Joseph Rolette Jr.]], a fur trader and political figure from [[Pembina, North Dakota|Pembina]]. The county government was effected on October 14, 1884, with [[Dunseith, North Dakota|Dunseith]] as the county seat. In 1885 the county seat was assigned to [[St. John, North Dakota|Saint John]], and in 1889 it was assigned to [[Rolla, North Dakota|Rolla]].
