'''Roseville''' is a city in [[Ramsey County, Minnesota|Ramsey County]], [[Minnesota]], United States. It is one of two [[Minneapolis-Saint Paul|Twin Cities]] suburbs that are bordered directly by [[Saint Paul, Minnesota|Saint Paul]] and [[Minneapolis]] ([[Lauderdale, Minnesota|Lauderdale]] being the other suburb). The population was 36,254 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].<ref name="2020 Census (City)">{{cite web|title=Explore Census Data |url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Roseville_city,_Minnesota?g=1600000US2755852 |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=March 12, 2023}}</ref>

==History==
Roseville's land was originally settled by the [[Santee Sioux|Dakota]] and [[Ojibwe]] peoples. The first white settlers came in 1843, and the [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] left the area by 1862. Rose Township was established in 1858; it was named after one of the first settlers, Isaac Rose.<ref>{{cite book|last=Upham|first=Warren|title=Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance|url=https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog|year=1920|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|page=[https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog/page/n457 438]}}</ref> The township included the areas now known as Roseville, Lauderdale, and Falcon Heights, as well as parts of present-day [[Saint Paul, Minnesota|Saint Paul]] and [[Minneapolis, Minnesota|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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Early History of Roseville Minnesota and Rose Township |url=https://www.rhsmn.org/roseville-minnesota-early-history/ |access-date=2023-06-18 |website=Roseville Historical Society |language=en-US}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Curtice & Potts' standard map of Ramsey Co., Minnesota |url=https://www.loc.gov/resource/g4143r.la000380/ |access-date=2023-06-18 |website=Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540 USA}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/index.asp?nid=300|title=Roseville, MN - Official Website - History|publisher=City of Roseville|access-date=October 28, 2008}}</ref>
