Roseville is a city in Ramsey County, Minnesota, United States. It is one of two Twin Cities suburbs that are adjacent to both Saint Paul and Minneapolis (the other is Lauderdale). The land comprising Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, and southern Roseville was unincorporated until Roseville incorporated in 1948 and Falcon Heights and Lauderdale incorporated in 1949. [5] The population was 36,254 at the 2020 census. [3]

History

Roseville's land was originally settled by the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples. The first white settlers came in 1843, and the Native Americans left the area by 1862. Rose Township was established in 1858; it was named after one of the first settlers, Isaac Rose. [6] The township included the areas now known as Roseville, Lauderdale, and Falcon Heights, as well as parts of present-day Saint Paul and Minneapolis. When it was first organized, Rose Township's western boundary was what is now Stinson Boulevard in Minneapolis, and its southern boundary was what is now Marshall Avenue until Dale Street, where it turned north until University Avenue (then called Minnehaha Avenue), where it turned east until it met Rice Street. Continued expansion by Saint Paul and county boundary adjustments with Hennepin County reduced its size over time. [7]

In the 1870s and 1880s, until Saint Paul expanded to its current size, there was a small settlement labeled on maps as Roseville. It was next to a farmstead owned by Jacob. F. True, president of the Ramsey County Agricultural Society. Four large blocks were laid out in a shape of a parallelogram from the northwest corner of Saint Anthony Avenue and Snelling Avenue. Two roads ran through it, College Street (now Pierce Street) and Fry Street, and its northern road was essentially Shields Avenue. [8] Its platting affected future developments, causing streets to be laid at an irregular distance from surrounding neighborhoods all the way down to Summit Avenue, between Pierce Street (then Webb Street where it met Summit) and Snelling Avenue, which can still be seen today.

The area saw rapid growth through the 1930s and 1940s, and Roseville incorporated as a village in 1948 to accommodate it. Falcon Heights and Lauderdale soon followed suit, and Rose Township ceased to exist. The first Roseville police chief was Ray Goneau, who held that position until 1977. [9]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 13.84 square miles (35.85 km2), of which 13.00 square miles (33.67 km2) is land and 0.84 square miles (2.18 km2) is water. [10]

The 45th parallel crosses the city; a marker at the northeast corner of the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Loren Road identifies the location. [11] [12]

Interstate Highway 35W and Minnesota Highways 36, 51 (Snelling Avenue), and 280 are the four main routes in Roseville.
