According to Spanish literature, Oro means gold, and Ville means town in French literature. Thus, Oroville is named a town made from gold. It is based near Butte County, California, in the United States. This town had a tiny population before 2018 when a massive fire struck nearby. This was when people from the neighboring areas who lost their homes relocated to Oroville, thus, increasing its population. You must pass through this city to visit Lake Oroville or enjoy the Feather River's recreational activities. This city of gold lies in the center of major state highways, making it a perfect place to rest on the journey. Make a pitstop here and check out the peaceful river beds and farmlands.
