Roseville, California

Northern America

Roseville is the most populous city in Placer County, California, and lies within the Sacramento metropolitan area, where it is the third-largest city. The 2020 United States census counted 147,773 residents. Interstate 80 runs through the city and State Route 65 runs through part of its northern edge. The settlement grew from a stage coach station called Griders and from a railroad point first known as Junction, where the Central Pacific line met the California Central line in the 1860s. After the Southern Pacific Railroad moved its facilities from Rocklin to Roseville in 1906, the town became an incorporated city in 1909, and it remained a railroad town for decades. Roseville is a charter city known for its city-owned utilities, underwent significant urban renewal in the 1980s and 1990s, and has become a commercial hub and a boomburb of Sacramento.
