. . . History of Roseville The City of Roseville is what was left of the surveyed Rose Township. The six mile by six mile surveyed township stretched from County Road D south to what is now Marshall Avenue and from Rice Street west to what is now Stinson Boulevard. The western edge of the governmental Rose Township was lost when Hennepin County formed. Other portions were incorporated into the cities of Lauderdale and Falcon Heights. Finally, during the last decade of the nineteenth century, St. Paul expanded its incorporated limits to take up the southern half of the governmental township. The City of Roseville incorporated in 1948. Description of ISD #623 While ISD #623 is often called the Roseville Area School District, it does not include all of Roseville, but includes all or portions of seven different northern suburban communities. These communities include a small part of Arden Hills, all of Falcon Heights, all of Lauderdale, most of Little Canada, a small portion of Maple wood, a small portion of Shore view and most of Roseville. The northwest comer of Roseville is in Mounds View Area School District, ISD #621. See the map ofISD #623 which shows all of the school district, the various schools in the district and their location. The School District Center is located at 1251 West County Road B-2, just across the street from the Roseville Area High School. Human Rights Commission The Human Rights Commission has been around since 1968. The Commission is composed of volunteer Roseville residents and a youth representative. A list of current members is enclosed. Commissioners are appointed to three year terms. The Commission meets the second Tuesday of the month at City Hall, 2660 Civic Center Drive, at 7 p.m. The public is welcome to attend. Throughout the years, the Commission has grown into a valuable resource for the community. We sponsor community forums and celebrations. We intervene when residents or visitors have been discriminated against. We conduct educational programs. One of our most successful ventures is the Essay Contest for middle school students. Each year since 1986 we've posed a thought provoking question for 6th, ih and 8th graders to answer. This year more than 200 students participated in the contest. Consider the Roseville Human Rights Commission as a resource for you. Commissioners are developing a speakers' bureau. Contact us if you are looking for someone to speak on human rights issues. Please contact staff liaison Carolyn Curti at 651-792-7026 if we can be of any assistance.
