Oroville California

The Gold City

Oroville's history runs deep with gold. Beginning in the Gold Rush of 1849, Oroville (then called Ophir City) was a Boom Town known throughout the West. With streets filled with miners, saloons and pioneers, Oroville soon became one of the largest cities in California.

Today, Oroville honors its history through several museums, historic homes and murals. And Oroville's Historic Downtown is filled with antique and collectibles shops, so you, too, can bring home a bit of the Gold Rush fever.

Oroville is located in Butte County, of which it is the county seat, north of Sacramento between Chico and Marysville along Highway 149 on the banks of the Feather River near Lake Oroville and the Plumas National Forest.

Oroville is part of the Chico-Paradise, California metro area.
