Situated north of Sacramento and nestled against the Feather River lies Oroville, California – a town rich with history and culture for its inhabitants to explore.
Oroville has been inhabited since at least 1850 when gold miners flocked to the area during the California Gold Rush. Over time, this small rural city saw more development as it grew into what it is today – boasting one of the most impressive state parks in California, Lake Oroville State Recreation Area. Here visitors will be able to take part in all kinds of outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, and camping; there are also miles of trails that traverse breathtaking landscapes and offer spectacular views over the lake.
But Oroville doesn’t just have natural sights; historical landmarks like The Chinese Temple Building preserve cultural heritage while buildings like The Table Mountain Rancheria Cultural Center host events and educational programs throughout the year. With so much for locals and tourists alike to do, Oroville truly offers something for everyone who calls it home or visits from afar.
