"Roseville History"

Rose Township was originally named for Isaac Rose, one of the first white settlers in the area and also the post master. Rose and his family settled on a claim near what is St. Anthony Road and Fairview Avenue. When the Federal Government ordered a survey of the Roseville area, Isaac Rose worked on the survey team, and in a result , the township was named after him. In 1948 Rose Township was incorporated and was separated creating Roseville, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, and part of St. Paul.
