Rhodelia, Kentucky
Rhodelia is a Meade county community about 13 miles west of Brandenburg. It was settled in the nineteenth century and was originally known as Vessels Woods for a local family. The name Rhodelia is for Elias Rhodes, another early resident.
The Rhodelia post office opened in 1879.
About three miles northwest of Rhodelia is the Roman Catholic church Saint Theresa of Avila, established in 1818. The church building was completed in 1857 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
