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. Roseville's biggest housing boom took place in the 70's and as a result, most of the residential areas are filled with split-level ramblers and bungalows.
