Roseville is a suburb on the Upper North Shore of Sydney in the state of New South Wales, Australia north-west of the Sydney central business district. It is within the local government areas of Ku-ring-gai and Willoughby. Roseville Chase is a separate suburb to the east.〔Gregory's Sydney Street Directory, Gregory's Publishing Company, 2007〕 == History == William Henry was one of Ku-ring-gai's first European settlers, who used the area for farming. There were a few fruit orchards and market gardens in the area. Other significant settlers were David Mathew, who owned a property called Clanville, and Richard Archbold, who was granted an area of adjacent to Clanville. Archbold later acquired Clanville and set up an orchard on the property. Archbold's son-in-law had a stone cottage called ''Rose Villa'', which was later demolished to make way for the North Shore railway line. Roseville eventually derived its name from ''Rose Villa''.〔The Book of Sydney Suburbs, Frances Pollon, Angus and Robertson 1990, page 229〕 Roseville Post Office opened on 8 July 1901. Roseville East Post Office opened on 1 December 1937. Babbage Road was named for Eden Herschel Babbage (a grandson of Charles Babbage), a retired banker who lived in "Rawhiti" on Clanville Road. Dubbed the "Father of Roseville", he was largely responsible for developing Roseville Park, Davidson Park and Roseville Chase.〔(Babbage Memorial ) ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 7 August 1924 p.8 accessed 7 October 2011〕 His brother-in-law, Francis Robert Burton, donated the large pavilion in Roseville Park,〔(Roseville Park ) ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 9 December 1914 p.12 accessed 8 October 2011〕 following the death in 1913 of brother William Burton, of "Woodlands" on Bancroft Avenue.〔(In the Supreme Court of New South Wales ) ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 1 July 1913 p.5 accessed 9 October 2011〕 The Australian photographer Harold Cazneaux (1878 to 1953) lived for much of his life in a Federation home called "Ambleside", located in Dudley Avenue. At the time of his appointment as Premier of New South Wales in 2011, Barry O'Farrell lived with his family in Roseville, but as of 2012 resided at nearby Turramurra. As a member of parliament, Barry O'Farrell represented the electoral district of Ku-ring-gai, which Roseville falls within. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roseville, New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
