The rolling hills and grasslands of what is today South Placer County, was home to the Maidu Indians for more than 500 years, before the discovery of gold in 1849. In 1864, track-laying crews pushed eastwards from Sacremento across the plains to build the nations first intercontinental railroad. On the site of present-day Roseville, the rail of the Central Pacific, intersected with the California line and this place became known as the Junction. A small freight and passenger centre, called Roseville, developed from this.
For the next couple of years, Roseville remained a small railroad shipping point, but in 1908, the railroad roundhouse and repair facilities moved here and almost overnight, the small, quiet village grew into a bustling town. It has continued to develop until it became Placer County's largest and most important city. |
