Roseland's historical roots date back to the 1700s when Europeans first settled the area. In 1704, Thomas Clarke, the first European settler in Roseland, established his home in what is now known as Essex County. A few years later, settlers from England and Scotland began to populate the area and established the towns of West Orange, Montclair, and Verona. Roseland was established in 1851 by a group of local businessmen, who intended it to function as a suburban retreat for families and businessmen. The first major development project, the Roseland Park Hotel, was built in 1852 and quickly became the centerpiece of the town. Soon afterward, the town began to attract attention, and development continued steadily. As Roseland grew, various businesses took up shop in the area, ranging from small-town shops and grocery stores to luxurious hotels. The town also saw a population boom, with many new residents coming from nearby towns such as Orange, Bloomfield, and Nutley. The influx of people from these towns added to the already diverse racial makeup of the town and helped to make Roseland an inclusive and vibrant place to live.
