Roseville is a city in Ramsey County, Minnesota, United States.

[3] Roseville's land was originally settled by the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples.

[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.

[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.

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.

[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.

The city's per-capita retail spending is slightly higher than that of Bloomington (home of the Mall of America), and it has the greatest number of restaurants per capita in the area.

Roseville was home to the first Barnes & Noble bookstore outside New York City.

[16] The Roseville Dairy Queen, also first in the state, is currently on the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota's list of the 10 Most Endangered Historic Places.

[17] The credit scoring and data analytics firm FICO has one of its main Midwest U.S. office locations in Roseville.

Roseville is also home to the John Rose Oval, North America's largest outdoor artificial sheet of ice.

The United States national bandy team and its Canadian counterpart usually play friendly games there against each other in November.

Roseville Area Middle School (RAMS) serves grades 7 and 8.

Roseville Area High School (RAHS) serves grades 9 through 12.
