Rowville is named after the Rowe family, whose property Stamford Park was established in 1882. The Stamford Park homestead has been restored in recent years by Knox Council. Geographically, Rowville is one of the largest suburbs south-east of Melbourne.

Rowville has developed rapidly over the 1980s and 1990s, especially in terms of housing and light industrial activities. Culturally, Rowville is still developing, like many of Melbourne’s outer suburbs. Development has included the construction of the Welllington Village shopping centre on Wellington Road, complementing the Rowville Lakes shopping centre on Kelletts Road.

Stud Park Shopping Centre, opened in 1989, is the largest in the suburb. It houses the Rowville branch of the Eastern Regional Library, and is adjacent to the Rowville Community Centre. In October, the Stringybark Festival is held at the centre. This popular event is organized by the Knox Council, and focuses on environmental sustainability. There are three golf courses within Rowville.

St. Simons Primary School celebrated their 25th-year anniversary in 2006.

Transport

Rowville is a heavily car-dependent community, with most families having at least two cars. Three or four cars per household are not uncommon, depending on the number of children of driving age still living at home.

The current State Government has proposed that the public transport problems will be resolved by the SmartBus system, which includes special bus lanes on major traffic routes. The SmartBus program was originally a policy initiative of the Kennett Liberal (conservative state government of Victoria, Australia in the late 1990s One SmartBus route, connecting Rowville to Caulfield via Monash University and Huntingdale Station has been established, with the Outer Eastern SmartBus providing a link to Ringwood and Frankston announced by the government to begin operation in 2008. Caulfield is a Railway station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, located in the suburb of Caulfield East, at the junction of Monash University is a Public university based in Melbourne, Australia. Huntingdale is a Railway station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, located in the suburb of Huntingdale, on the Pakenham Ringwood is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Maroondah. Frankston is a seaside suburb of Melbourne, in the state of Victoria, Australia.

The general consensus among Rowville residents is that any railway line to Rowville would run east-west along or parallel to Wellington Road linking to the Pakenham (and Cranbourne) rail lines at Huntingdale to provide a form of mass transit to this growing suburb. The Pakenham railway line in Melbourne, Australia is the Suburban electrified portion of the railway to Bairnsdale in eastern The Cranbourne railway line is a Suburban electric railway service operated by Connex Melbourne in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne Huntingdale is a Railway station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, located in the suburb of Huntingdale, on the Pakenham The stations suggested for the line are Monash University, Rowville Parkway and Stud Park. Monash University is a Public university based in Melbourne, Australia. An alternative route could involve an extension of the Glen Waverley railway line by tunnelling under residential areas and linking to Stud Park along the Dandenong Creek valley. The Glen Waverley railway line is a Suburban electric railway in Melbourne, Australia.

These suggestions have no official status, and there has been much debate over the Victorian State Government’s decision to permit new motor tollways (such as the north-south EastLink), rather than providing rail services to Rowville.
