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 was already in use for a railroad station in neighboring Adams County The city and surrounding Rhame Township were named for Mitchell Davison Rhame (1846–1913), who was a district engineer for the railroad.
Rhame incorporated as a village in 1913. It became a city in 1967 after the North Dakota Legislature eliminated incorporation titles for villages and towns. As a result, all incorporated municipalities in North Dakota automatically adopted a city form of government.
Rhame was home to Rhame High School until 2006 when it consolidated with nearby Bowman High School to form Bowman County High School which is located in Bowman, ND. Rhame is still home to Rhame Elementary School.
Rhame is the highest town in North Dakota.
1st Lutheran Church is part of the ELCA and is located in the northeast part of Rhame. It is pastored by two men: Galen Strand and Chuck Swanson.
It holds its Sunday service at 9:30 am at 304 Parry Street.
